Good day! I am Sofia Nunez, a 3rd year economic student at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines and currently doing my research about the Social and Economic Factors that affect the Poverty in the Province of Region 5. Below are the following data that I am requesting to have a copy per municipality in the in the provinces of Region V (5) in Elementary and Secondary with the years covered, 2000-2022. 1. Enrollment Rate 2. Dropout Rate 3. Completion Rate 4. Teacher-Student Ratio 5. Number of Schools per municipality 6. Cohort Survival Rate Sincerely, Sofia

To whom it may concern, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally request specific data from the Department of Education through Freedom of Information for the purpose of conducting a comprehensive study on the socio-economic factors affecting poverty in Region V (5). The requested data will serve as a crucial component of my research project, which is a requirement for my major in Public Economics. The data I am requesting includes the following: 1. Enrollment Rate 2. Dropout Rate 3. Completion Rate 4. Teacher-Student Ratio 5. Number of Schools per municipality 6. Cohort Survival Rate These data points should cover the years from 2000-2022 and pertain specifically to the province of Region 5. (Albay, Cam Sur, Cam Norte, Masbate, Sorsogon, and Catanduanes), if you can include the data per municipality if it much appreciated. The objective of my research project, titled "Examining the Impact of Education on Poverty Alleviation in Region 5," is to analyze the relationship between these educational indicators and the socio-economic conditions in the Bicol Region. By obtaining this data, I aim to contribute valuable insights to the ongoing efforts to understand and address poverty-related issues. The information I am requesting will not only aid in fulfilling my academic requirements but also potentially assist local and national policymakers in formulating more effective strategies to combat poverty and improve educational outcomes in Bicol Region. I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter, and I look forward to receiving the requested data at your earliest convenience. If you require any additional information or clarification regarding my request, please do not hesitate to contact me via the provided email address or phone number. Thank you for your assistance in this endeavor, and I appreciate your support in advancing research and knowledge in the field of economics. Sincerely, Sofia Nunez Student Researcher
