Abstract
Polytechnic College of Botolan is a sociocultural institution committed to providing quality
education. As its stakeholder, the researcher seeks to know the social factors influencing the
education of Indigenous peoples-students. This study used a multi- method approach of two sets of
respondents to collect and analyze data. Descriptive research design from Indigenous students
respondents abled the study to get Persistence and Continuity, External Threat, and Internal Threat as
factors influencing education. It found a correlation among them, seeing as the findings showed that
students are in school because they need education for a better life, so the distance from school does
not matter, and learning will not restrict their practices and beliefs. The social factors influencing
their education can only be overcome by pursuing education, contrary to why the other respondents,
Indigenous peoples-out-of-school youths, stopped attending school. Through narrative inquiry, the
analyzed data found that the reason for out-of-school youth is providing for the family as their
priority. The global pandemic cut off their financial source and caused them to get pregnant early,
which shifted their priority.
