Hope on the Horizon: The Educational Journeys of Fisherfolk Families Amidst Economic Challenges
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 08
Abstract
Fishing is a significant source of income in the Philippines, particularly in coastal communities like those in Samar. Despite contributing to the economy and providing livelihoods, fisherfolk families face numerous challenges, particularly in ensuring education for their children. This qualitative study explores the lived experiences of fisherfolk parents in Samar, focusing on their efforts to balance economic needs with educational aspirations. Through in-depth interviews and phenomenological analysis, the study identifies key themes: economic instability due to adverse weather and fluctuating income, the impact of these conditions on children's education, and the strategies parents use to manage household responsibilities. The findings reveal the resilience and determination of fisherfolk parents, highlighting their commitment to their children's education despite significant financial and social barriers. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the intersection between livelihood and education in marginalized communities, offering insights for developing supportive policies and programs tailored to the needs of fisherfolk families.
