Abstract
This action research primarily hoped to reduce student’s tardiness through students’ success intervention program (SSIP). Tardiness is one of the problems faced by school nowadays. Tardiness is a problem whether it is practiced by students or teachers. It usually takes two forms; tardiness for school and tardiness for classes throughout the school day. Tardiness in schools, if left unchecked, can create serious systemic problems. Tardy students miss important instruction and get lower grades or fail subjects. Sixteen (16) students from Salabaca National High School, Salabaca, Esperanza, Sultan Kudarat undergone the program for 20hrs. The students were selected purposely since they have been noted to have successive late from the month of August-September of this school year 2022-2023. The students spent 30 mins counselling for thrice a week after their class in the afternoon. It is theorized that SSIP will reduce students’ tardiness and will improve their academic performance. From the p-value =0.000, this is far lower than the alpha 0.01, then it is shown that the SSIP is statistically effective in reducing the tardiness of the students. It is recommended by the researchers that parents and teachers must work hand in hand to solve small or big problems that happens to the learners. Tardiness indeed is an indicator of responsiveness to problems like this rooted from parents-teachers guidance and care.
