This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) in the implementation of projects in selected public elementary schools in Batangas City. A descriptive method of research was used with a survey questionnaire as the major instrument in data gathering. It involved 272 respondents who are all parents, 30 PTA officials, and 242 members of the PTA of selected public elementary schools in Batangas City. The statistical tools used to treat the data were the weighted mean and ranking.
The result of the study revealed that PTA officers and parents were able to assist parents, teachers, and students to ensure that all children are treated in accordance with the school's philosophy. Moreover, parents and PTA officers met different constraints in implementing different projects and activities in the school. The study, therefore, concludes that the PTA officers had a greater involvement in the improvement of the schools. The common constraints met by the respondents were diverse decision-making in implementing projects or school activities, inconsistent cooperation by the members, and mandatory contributions for fundraising for the implementation of the plan of activities and other PTA projects. It was recommended that the plan of activities should be evaluated by the school administrators, teachers, and PTA officers prior to the implementation. In addition, all stakeholders may be encouraged to work hand-in-hand seeking financial assistance from civic-spirited citizens, NGOs, and GOs for massive implementation of the projects. Future researchers may do similar investigations in other schools to determine the effectiveness of PTA as an organization in school.
