Abstract	Children is one of the most valuable assets of the state, every effort should be exerted to promote their welfare and enhance children’s opportunities for a useful life. By this, it is also essential for the different schools to formulate and implement the policies for child protection to enhance the child’s capability in the different learning institutions. The main objective of the study is to determine the extent of implementation of child protection policies and programs in the selected schools of the First District of Camarines Sur. This also aims to identify a) the status of child abuse in the selected schools of the first district, along with sexual harassment, discrimination, exploitation, bullying, and physical violence, b) activities/intervention programs initiated by the school on child protection, and c) problems encountered in the implementation of child protection. The descriptive-evaluative-comparative research method was used to determine the programs for the prevention of violence against children in selected schools in 1st District of Camarines Sur. The findings revealed that there were reported cases of child abuse both in grade school and secondary school. Cases of bullying, discrimination, sexual harassment, and exploitation are the forms of child abuse reported in the First District of Camarines Sur. The level of implementation of child protection policies and programs in selected schools of the First District in Camarines Sur is highly implemented in policies on physical violence, sexual violence, and psychological violence. However, the child protection policy on bullying is only implemented. The main problem that is being encountered in the implementation of child protection policy is financial incapacity to support the policies and programs. To address the following issues, it is recommended that every school must improve and strictly implement its child protection policies, most especially in bullying. The guidance counselor must also take records of bullying that is happening among the four corners of the rooms in order to address the abuses that are being settled by respective advisers and to take measures and give necessary counseling to the victims of such abuse.
