The research study investigated the relationship between Solo Parents Profile and Students Classroom Engagement in Public Secondary Schools within the City Schools Division of Dasmariñas. The study also aimed to propose a Capacity Building Training Program that addresses the challenges encountered by solo parents and promotes positive classroom engagement among students and teachers. The researcher used the descriptive method research of gathering data.  The majority of solo parents were typically females aged 31-40, possessed a high school education, had 3-4 siblings, engaged in various occupations, and chiefly relied on income from work. Students generally exhibited high levels of classroom engagement, while solo parents consistently grappled with financial, moral, and home supervision challenges. Notably, no significant relationship emerged between the profiles of solo parents (comprising age, gender, educational background, number of siblings, occupation, and source of income) and students classroom engagement. Nevertheless, a noteworthy connection was detected between the educational attainment of solo parents and moral challenges, as well as between the number of siblings and financial challenges. Additionally, the source of income for solo parents was significantly associated with financial challenges. As a result, the study proposed a comprehensive Capacity Building Training Program aimed at addressing these challenges and fostering improved classroom engagement.
