The study tested a magnitude of individual and household determinants that would affect the on-time school completion of students in elementary, high school and college levels of education in the Philippines. Theories discussed by economists were used in the course of the study and the proponents came with a model to be tested. A logistic regression was done on three categories of study. Different levels yielded different determinants that are highly significant in assessing the on time school completion of students in the Philippines. The study used the existing 2000 family income and expenditure survey as well as the labor force that was available with the help of the National Statistics Office.
