Cognitive Aspects

II. Rationale

Education is not just all about how an individual can read and write, but also for

and realize the importance of education in their lives. It helps them to facilitate and

enhance their learnings, knowledge, skills and even their attitude and personality

as a person. Education also leads every children towards to their own future and

success in life. Aside for the knowledge brought forth by education, poor health

and malnutrition is one of the major problems of our society and a great factor that

affects children’s school performance. Child’s health and nutrition are strongly

associated with educational achievement. It is hard for the children to learn if they

are not in a good and healthy condition, because healthy nutrition radically

improves children’s cognitive function and measurable academic achievement.

student of Puting Lupa Elementary School which is located at Makiling Calamba,

Laguna. The school hold a total of 316 elementary students and reported to have

an average school performance. The said program aims to impart essential

knowledge in academics through tutoring which will be useful in their studies and

improve performance in school. The tutors would prepare a fun, engaging and

informative program which is important to catch the attention of the students.

Furthermore, a feeding program will be followed in order to give basic nutrition to

the students especially to the 20% of the student’s population who are under
