Feeding Program on school participation and achievement.
STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
What is the mean weight status of the beneficiaries before the
feeding program, when group according to grade level 7,8,9,10?
What is the mean weight status of the beneficiaries after the
feeding program, when group according to grade level 7,8,9,10?
Is there significant difference between the before and after mean
weight status of the feeding program beneficiaries ?

results obtained by the researcher is 16.45
with a standard deviation of 1.82. both sides
has an equivalent p-value of 0.00 which is
lower 0.05.
