Abstract: Teacher attrition and migration are common occurrences in educational institutions worldwide. Many people will move jobs within their chosen profession or even leave that profession entirely during their professional lives. When teachers move between schools, it is called migration, and when they leave the teaching profession, the term is attrition. The main thrust of the study is to explore the reasons for teacher attrition and migration among the Bohol Association of Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Tagbilaran as they attrit to other organizations or migrated from teaching in private to public school institutions. The study employed a qualitative approach and the five OECD evaluation criteria to gather data to solve the research topics. The study was conducted in the selected member schools of the Bohol Association of Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Tagbilaran. The study identified the informants' schools where the teacher-respondents previously taught and likewise identified the public schools and other organizations where the teachers attrit and migrated. The teacher-informants themed their reasons for attrition and migration into three, and these are personal motive, financial motive, and future motive. The majority of the five teacher-informants interviewed regarding the reasons for their attrition cited personal motives as the primary cause while four teacher-informants agreed that the financial motive is the main reason they migrated to public school. In terms of relevance, they all feel the relevance of the programs, policies, and benefits from their current past and current organizations.
