Teachers rarely encounter problems, and parents consider the unavailability of mobile phones to contact the teacher as the top challenge. There was no significant relationship between the profile and the profiles of the school head respondents. There was no significant relationship between the profile of the kindergarten teacher respondents. There was a significant relationship between the educational attainment and family income profile of the kindergarten parent respondents.

Modular instruction and equal access to quality education for all students require tailored support for varied family circumstances and collaboration with all educational stakeholders of the pupils and improve the delivery of educational services.
