Session
Education and Development
Description
School Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) allocation is the fund used to support the operations of schools. This study examined the timeliness and transparency of school MOOE fund liquidation in one of the school divisions in the Philippines. A mixed explanatory research design was used with the aid of a survey questionnaire, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs) to a random sample of school heads and teachers. Results showed that for 2018-2019, only 2 of the 115 schools were able to submit their liquidation reports on time for 12 consecutive months. The primary reasons for the delayed submission were the multiple tasks and overlapping activities of school heads, followed by insufficient time to transact business with suppliers and the distance of schools to suppliers. Most of the teachers generally Agree that their school heads practiced transparency about MOOE fund liquidation. At £ =0.05, there was a correlation between the timeliness of fund liquidation and the transparency practices of school heads. Recommendations are herein proposed
