ABSTRACT

This study examined the impact of social inequalities on the education of selected elementary pupils in Zambales, focusing on variations in gender, age, religion, hometown, and family income. Using a descriptive research method and survey questionnaires, the findings revealed that differences exist in pupils’ profiles except for religion and disability. Results also showed that pupils are neutral regarding the influence of social inequalities on making friends, suggesting that peer relationships are less affected by these factors. However, they agreed that they are capable of persevering in their studies despite these challenges. In conclusion, while variations among pupils are inevitable, these do not hinder their ability to form friendships or pursue academic success, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity, safe learning spaces, and collaboration among teachers, parents, and the community.
