This study explored the factors influencing school dropouts in Santa Rosa, Laguna, to opt for home deliveries, emphasizing the role of education in shaping maternal healthcare decisions. It examined respondents' demographic profiles, key factors affecting home birth choices, and the perceived role of educational institutions in promoting safe motherhood. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed. Findings indicated that most respondents were teenagers (66.7%) from low-income backgrounds (63.7%), with financial constraints (100%) being the primary reason for home deliveries. Negative hospital experiences (69.6%) and cultural influences (36.3%) also contributed. The study found that while educational institutions play a role in promoting maternal health, their influence is limited. A strong correlation (r = .984, p = .000) was observed between perceptions of educational institutions and the perceived effectiveness of health interventions. Educational attainment was the strongest predictor of perceived intervention effectiveness. Results suggest the need for more effective maternal health education and improved intervention implementation. Strengthening the role of educational institutions could enhance awareness and accessibility to professional maternal care. The study emphasizes the importance of education in maternal health decisions. To address gaps, an action plan (ANDAYA) was proposed to enhance educational initiatives and maternal health interventions in Santa Rosa, Laguna.
