Abstract Administrative officers face many challenges and find ways to cope and keep their workload manageable and their responsibilities fulfilled. This study explored the challenges encountered by the administrative officers in the Department of Education (DepEd) Lower Apayao Division. Using a mixed-method research design, the study examined their challenges and identified their coping strategies. Data were gathered through interviews and focus group discussions. Findings revealed that administrative officers face difficulties such as work overload, limited resources, lack of training opportunities, and communication barriers. Moreover, evolving policy demands and technological advancements intensified these challenges. Despite these obstacles, administrative officers demonstrated resilience and resourcefulness, often employing innovative strategies to manage their workload and maintain service quality. The study recommends regular capacity-building activities, improved resource allocation, and stronger institutional support to enhance administrative efficiency. These highlight the critical role administrative officers play in educational management and emphasize the need for systemic reforms to better support them in their duties.
