ABSTRACT

—— The purpose of the study determined the extent of the implementation of the Child Protection Policy among Elementary Schools in the Island Garden City of Samal. The respondents of the study were categorized according to school size and sex. The study was predominantly participated in by females and that a significant portion of the respondents came from mediumsized schools. The combined average score of 3.90 points to a generally high level of leadership, with transformational and strategic leadership approaches standing out as the most effective and widely practiced. This indicates that effective strategic leadership is crucial for enhancing the ability to manage crises within educational settings. The distribution of the implementation of the Child Protection Policy shows that nearly half of those surveyed report the policy is in place, but a larger portion feels it isn’t being effectively carried out. Results of an analysis on factors that may influence the implementation of the Child Protection Policy, considering three key predictors: Leadership Style (LSave), School Size (schsize), and Gender. With a Wald statistic of 7.685 and a significance value of 0.006, suggesting that gender influences whether the policy is implemented. Future researchers should take a closer look at how school size might influence the effectiveness of the Child Protection Policy. Since current data does not reveal significant findings in this regard, further research could help uncover whether school size plays a subtle or long-term role in the policy’s success or failure.
