Also, the national governments should prioritize education and training programs that equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the modern job market. Moreover, local governments should work to increase funding for mental health facilities and services that cater specifically to the needs of the unemployed. It can include support groups, therapy sessions, and counseling services specifically designed to address the difficulties unemployed face.

Abstract: This study delves into the utilization of Mother Tongue Based Instruction (MTBI) within the public kindergarten schools of Cebu City Division, specifically focusing on three public elementary school during the school year 2020-2021. The study aims to serve as a foundation for the proposed Enrichment Learning Activities. Employing a descriptive-correlational and comparative research design, the study distributed survey questionnaires to 291 parent-respondents and 24 teacher-respondents across the aforementioned schools. The findings underscore that both parents and teachers perceive MTBI as beneficial, with parents considering it important and teachers deeming it highly significant. Moreover, teachers are evidently prepared to implement MTBI in their instructional practices. Although the learners demonstrate average overall development, the parental perception of MTBI's benefits and importance does not seem to directly correlate with the learners' academic achievement. Additionally, the study reveals a lack of significant disparity between the perceptions of parents and teachers concerning the advantages and significance of MTBI. These findings offer crucial insights into the perceptions of stakeholders regarding MTBI's efficacy and highlight the need for further exploration into its implications for educational practices in kindergarten settings.
