No significant correlation in the availability of the curriculum materials appeared.  3.	ANOVA revealed that there is a significant difference exists in their perception regarding the strength, weakness, and threats in the special science curriculum implementation. Null hypotheses tested at 0.05 level significance.  CONCLUSIONS:  The respondents appeared to strongly agree in the attainment of curriculum objectives; the availability of the curriculum materials appeared to be very satisfactory; course activities, appeared to be agreeable, teaching strategies, appeared to be occasionally applied.

Male graduating students of secondary schools should be encouraged to take up science education courses through career orientation program by their science teacher in their lessons and institutions offering science courses.  3.	Graduating high school students/ alumni of the Special Science Classes must be encouraged to apply for scholarship in the DOST Science Priority Courses Scholarship Grant.  4.	The Principal/ Administration should resort to resource management activities to provide laboratory equipment.  5.	Administration should purchase computers through donations from the Local Government Officials on Non Local Government Organizations (NGO) such as PTCS, Alumni Association or other civic organizations.  6.
