The study presented the challenges faced by public Kindergarten Teachers in the Third Congressional District
of Bohol, Philippines. Employing descriptive survey method, data from 226 Kindergarten Teachers across 19
municipalities were analyzed to identify challenges based on class types and schedules. The demographic
profile of respondents revealed a young workforce aged 20-40. Majority of which are holding a Bachelor of
Elementary Education degree specializing in Early Childhood Education. All respondents were LET Board
passers and had participated in relevant workshops. The study confirmed compliance to the mandated teacher-
pupil ratio of 1:25, with a total student population of 5,868. Findings demonstrated significant differences in
challenges faced by teachers based on class type. Teachers managing multi-grade classes reported more
difficulties compared to those handling single-grade classes. The findings suggest potential violations of DepEd
Order No. 47, s. 2016, which mandates separate kindergarten classes in multi-grade schools. This result
heightened the challenges faced by multi-grade teachers. The research provides information for the
development of teacher programs, and informing policy adjustments. It will also serve as a reference for future
studies on the challenges in teaching kindergarten that aims to enhance the experiences of students in public
schools.
