ABSTRACT

—— This study aimed to determine the extent of integration and teachers’ perception of entrepreneurship education in the Senior High School (SHS) curriculum within the DepEd School Division of Surigao del Sur during School Year 2025 –2026, with the end view of proposing an intervention program. Using a descriptive correlation design, data were gathered from SHS teachers through a validated survey questionnaire. The study specifically examined respondents’ profile, the extent of integration across fives domains, teachers’ perspective on curriculum relevance and adequacy, significant differences when grouped to profile variables, and relationship between perspectives and integration. Results revealed that teachers are mostly bachelor’s degree holders with limited training experience. Very great extent was rated to integration particularly in business planning and marketing, while risk management and financial literacy were less emphasized. Teachers strongly affirmed the relevance of entrepreneurship education and reported positive impacts on students’ entrepreneurial mindset but cited inadequate teaching resources and limited seminars. Significant differences in integration were observed by educational attainment and years of teaching experience, while perspectives showed no differences across groups. Correlation analysis indicated significant relationships between perspectives and integration when grouped according to sex, qualifications, experience, and training experience. These findings suggest that while integration is strong, systemic support in terms of resources, training, and mentorship remains necessary. Based on the results, an intervention program was proposed focusing on resources provision, continuous professional development, mentorship, and industry community linkages to sustain and enhance entrepreneurship education in the SHS curriculum.
