Nutrition and Academic Achievement of Filipino Learners: A Literature Review

Abstract

Nutrition has always been significant in the lives of all. It refers to the needed amount of vitamins and minerals the body receives to allow proper functioning. Undernourished and malnutrition are no longer new issues in the Filipino learners. It has been reported to have a total of 1,836,793 undernourished pupils from kindergarten to Grade 6 pupils as reported by DepEd on FY 2019. On the latest news, the Programme for International Student Assessment PISA results showed that the Philippines ranked dead last in reading among 79 participating countries or economies, and ranked second to the last in both mathematics and science. The Philippines sees a strong relationship between the socio economic status of students and their school performance, according to the full report. With this, the researchers aimed to see if in the past researches, there was a reported significant association between nutrition and academic achievement of the students. Of the twenty reviewed studies, ten research articles were utilized. From these, six out of ten researches confirmed the association. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that students who were of proper nutrition were more likely to perform better in school as reported in their academic performance. Mariepet A.
