Abstract Program support is a critical factor in the effective implementation of educational policies, particularly the National Mathematics Program (NMP) in the Philippines. There exists a notable disparity between the creation of policies and their actual implementation in classrooms, particularly in mathematics. This study aimed to determine the program support and implementation of the National Mathematics Program (NMP) in Claveria Northeast District, Misamis Oriental, during the School Year 2024-2025. This aimed to find the respondents’ assessment of program support and the extent of the implementation, and determine the relationship between the respondents' assessed program support and their implementation using universal sampling. A total of one hundred seventy (170) public elementary and secondary school teachers participated in the study. Descriptive-correlational research was employed, with a researcher-made survey questionnaire as the primary instrument. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation to determine the relationship between program support and NMP implementation.
Findings revealed that program support was rated very high in terms of facility and resources and professional development; however, stakeholder support was just high. The NMP implementation was very high with success in areas such as collaborative learning, but high in promoting global competitiveness. A strong correlation was found between facilities/resources and program success, while stakeholder involvement had a weaker impact. The study concludes that enhancing facilities, resources, and professional development is essential for improving the NMP's effectiveness, with further attention needed on stakeholder engagement and global competitiveness. It recommends that school administrators focus on increasing stakeholder involvement, emphasizing global competitiveness in teacher training, and utilizing external stakeholders.
