The study tried to determine the relationship of some selected communication-related variables which influenced the teachers' reactions toward population education in public secondary schools. It involved three hundred public secondary school teachers coming from twelve public secondary schools in the province of Nueva Ecija.

Data showed that three-fifths (60.33%) of the respondents accepted the population education in public secondary schools, while the rest (39.67%) rejected it.

Statistical analysis with the use of the chi-square (X2) test revealed that the following communication-related variables appeared to have a highly significant relationship with the respondents! reactions to the new educational program: (1) sex, (2) civil status, (3) number of brothers/sisters of the unmarried, (4) availability of teaching aids, books and references, (5) mass media exposure, (6) number of in-service training attended, (7) self-rated teaching ability, (8) self-rated ability to enrich instruction, (9) frequency of communication with the principal about discipline problems, and about problems of teaching the subject; and (10) frequency of being asked for opinions by the principal.

The communication-related variables which had only significant relationship with teachers! reactions were: (1) age, (2) religion, (3) frequency of contact with personal sources of information, (4) satisfaction with teaching environment, and (5) self-rated ability to teach,

The teacher-acceptors were generally males, and married. If unmarried, they belonged to big families with at least five brothers/sisters. The teacher-acceptors agreed that PEP teaching aids, books and references were available, They were older teachers, and non-Catholics.

They had outstanding teaching ability, had outstanding ability to enrich instruction. They had more frequent talks with the principal about discipline and problems of teaching. Their opinions were usually asked by the principal. They were satisfied with their teaching environment, and self-rated their ability to teach as outstanding.
