This study was conducted to determine the level of Financial Literacy and Financial
Security of Public Secondary Teachers in Seventh District of Cavite. In detail, the study aimed
to: (a) identify the socio demographic profile of public secondary teachers in seventh district of
Cavite; (b) measure the level of financial literacy of the public secondary teachers in seventh
district of Cavite; (c) measure the level of financial security of the public secondary teachers in
seventh district of Cavite; (d) determine the significant relationship between the participants'
demographic profile and financial literacy; (e) determine the significant relationship between the
participants' demographic profile and financial security; and (f) determine the significant
relationship between the participants' financial literacy and financial security. It was conducted at
Cavite State University-Don Severino de las Alas Campus, Indang, Cavite from August 2018 to
May 2019.
The participants of the study were the public secondary teachers of seventh district of
Cavite, particularly in the municipalities of Tanza, Indang and Amadeo; and the city of Trece
Martires. Target participants were asked to answer a survey questionnaire which was composed
of 65 statements and 4 parts. Descriptive statistical tools such as mean and standard deviation
were used in presenting and analyzing the data gathered.
The Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient was used to determine if there is a
significant relationship between the variables. The study revealed that 40 percent of the
participants are in range of 31 to 40 years old, majority of them were females. Also, 67 percent
of them were married, 52 percent of them were ranked as teacher I and 40 percent of them
were 6 years and below in service.
The hypothesis was accepted meaning there is no relationship between the teacher’s
profile and financial literacy and as to the teacher’s profile and financial security. However, the
relationship between teacher's year in service and financial security revealed that they were
significantly related to each other but negatively correlated. The study tested the significant
relationship between the level of financial literacy and financial security of the teachers, and it
revealed that they were significant and positively related.
