Abstract

This qualitative study explores the challenges and resilience of teachers’ assigned to remote schools in Bukidnon, Philippines. It highlights the unique difficulties faced by educators in geographically isolated areas, including limited resources, cultural diversity, and professional isolation. Through in-depth interviews with ten remote school teachers, the research identifies their motivations, coping strategies, and the significance of cultural adaptation in their roles. The findings reveal that teachers are driven by a deep commitment to education and personal fulfillment, often overcoming significant obstacles to ensure quality learning for their students. The study emphasizes the need for systemic support, professional development, and collaborative partnerships to enhance the well-being and effectiveness of remote school teachers. Recommendations are provided for policymakers and administrators to address these challenges and sustain teacher resilience.
