It has been an interplay of so many factors – gender, age, daily allowance, social status, time and interest. In fact, almost all of existing personal and even environmental factors are can be related to the academic performance of a student. At this point, the researchers would like to investigate the possible factors that may affect the academic performance of the grade 8 students of Saint Ferdinand College of Ilagan City.
