Implementation of Campus Journalism Act among the Public Secondary Schools in Region III An Evaluation

Abstract

This study utilized the Provus's Discrepancy Evaluation Model (DEM) to evaluate the Campus Journalism Act implementation among the public secondary schools in Region III. It determined the revised provisions of the CJA and provided strategies for the effective implementation of the said act and the implications of the study in the educational management. After a thorough analysis of the gathered data, it was found out that majority of the schools implemented the CJA provisions. However, mandates on editorial policies, editorial board selection procedure, publication adviser's selection procedure, duty as of technical guidance and workload, and posting and depositing the publication budget were revised by the schools. Thus, strategies were provided to execute completely the CJA. It was recommended that the proper orientation should be done in order for the school administrators, publication advisers, and other members of the editorial board to be equipped with the necessary information regarding the provisions stated on Campus Journalism Act of 1991.
