The primary concern of the study was to determine the status of Home Economics and Livelihood Education Practicum Building (HELEPB) of the private elementary schools as basis for constructing or renovating suitable and conducive HELEPB for a quality teaching and learning process. It utilized descriptive survey method of research. The participants of the study were stakeholders of the private elementary schools namely: parents, alumni, faculty staff and administrators.
