Abstract
To provide deserving Filipino students access to higher education, the Universal Access to Quality Education (UAQTE) program was enacted into law. However, despite its years of implementation, there remains a lack of comprehensive understanding of its perceived impact and feedback among its recipients. This paper explored an advanced text analysis approach in contextual understanding of text responses related to the implementation of the UAQTE by employing enhanced word embeddings from Word2Vec and Glove vectors, K-Means clustering algorithm and bi-gram word network. The combination of Word2vec and Glove embeddings captured the semantic meaning of words within the dataset. Five distinct groups were identified using the K-means algorithm which gained a decent silhouette score of 0.3477. Based on the computed TF-IDF scores for the bi-grams, top sequences for each cluster were used for the visualization of a text network graph. Accordingly, domain experts labeled the clusters of responses as “Support and Educational Opportunity”, “Accessibility and Financial Relief”, “Gratitude and Satisfaction”, “Positive Evaluation with Suggestions for Improvement” and “Program Effectiveness”. This approach not only highlights the strengths of the UAQTE program in providing support to the beneficiaries but also reveals certain areas needing attention and improvement, which are crucial in policy development and enhancement. Future work may focus on diversified data by incorporating feedback from other stakeholders, such as program implementers and educators.
