Abstract
The lack of school facilities greatly affects students’ learning. This study aims to determine the students’ perspectives regarding the insufficiency of facilities and how this impacts their learning. Interviews were used as the primary tool to gather the viewpoints of students enrolled at Cebu Technological University–Consolacion Campus. A qualitative research design served as the methodology for this study. Findings reveal that inadequate facilities significantly hinder the learning process, resulting in difficulties such as loss of concentration during class, fluctuating weather conditions that negatively affect health, and challenges in showcasing their full academic potential. Students also expressed expectations for improvements that would address their learning needs. To address these issues, collaboration among the school, government, and community is necessary to prioritize facility enhancement, which can ultimately provide better opportunities for all learners. Based on the results, the researchers recommend constructing additional facilities needed for student learning through coordinated efforts with the government and school administration, as well as improving temporary structures.
