Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study examined the adequacy of instructional materials, teacher deployment, support systems, and challenges encountered by multigrade teachers in Pudtol, Apayao. Using a descriptive-correlational design, data were gathered from purposively selected teachers through a validated questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation. Results showed that instructional materials were generally adequate, while pupil resources and literacy kits were very adequate. Supervisory support and in-service training were consistently provided, but teacher lodging in remote areas was insufficient. Major challenges involved instructional management, multi-level teaching, and classroom organization. Educational attainment and teaching experience were significantly related to challenges encountered. The study underscores the need for targeted multigrade training, enhanced instructional support, and improved welfare provisions for teachers in remote schools
