The research underscored the necessity of enhanced inclusive practices in Catholic institutions to improve the academic, social, and emotional well-being of all students. It also highlighted the absence of dedicated support for non-Catholic students and their conflicting attitudes toward Catholicism. 2024-12-20T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/sinaya/vol3/iss3/1 info:doi/10.59588/3027-9283.1114 https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/context/sinaya/article/1114/viewcontent/_Final_Proof__HAE_Manuscript_1.pdf Sinaya: A Philippine Journal for Senior High School Teachers and Students Animo Repository catholicism catholic institution education experiences interfaith Education
