The study was designed to determine the level of awareness of public and private
senior high school students in Indang, Cavite on the United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals. This study aimed to: determine the demographic profile of the public and private senior
high school students in Indang, Cavite; determine the level of awareness of the students on the
United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals; determine if there is a significant difference
on the students' level of awareness on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals as
to the students' demographic profile; identify the medium/s that influences the students'
awareness on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals; and identify the students'
possible contributions to help in achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
The study involved 302 senior high school student participants enrolled from different
public and private senior high schools in the municipality of Indang, Cavite during Academic
Year 2017 2018. The study utilized stratified random sampling technique to determine the
sample size. In data gathering, a survey questionnaire was used as the data gathering
instrument for the study. The questionnaire was then retrieved, analyzed, evaluated, and
explained using the descriptive correlational method.

The findings show that as to the participants' demographic profile, majority (68.2%)
belonged to the 16-17 years old age bracket; there were more male, with 53.0 percent; more
participants were in Grade I l, which was equivalent to 53.3 percent; and there were more
participants in STEM, with 44.7 percent. As to the level of awareness of the senior high school
students on United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals,
186 of the participants were slightly aware, 109 were moderately aware, only 7 were highly
aware, and none of the senior high school student participants were extremely aware. Overall,
it takes into account that the public and private senior high school students in Indang, Cavite
were slightly aware of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The medium that
influences the students' awareness on the United Nations' Sustainable Goals most is the

internet, with 65.56 percent and being an advocate of the government's programs concerning
the topic is the most possible contribution for the students which was equivalent to 38.74
percent.
Moreover, the null hypothesis of no significant difference on the students' level of
awareness on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals as to the students'
demographic profile in terms of year level and academic track was rejected. With that, it is
recommended that the students' awareness on the United Nations' Sustainable Development
Goals may be strengthened by more internet access and through information dissemination by
the placement of television programs about the United Nations' Sustainable Development
Goals.
