Abstract
The number of families who have been migrating has been increasing, and this activity is impacting not only the migrants but also the performance of students at school. Laguna is the third area that has a large number of migrants, specifically Muslim families from different regions, according to studies. This study focuses on the experiences of migrant Muslim learners in public schools and understands their lives and how these experiences shape them as learners. This study applied qualitative research as a design and a case study since the vital objective of this research is to explore and describe the experiences of these Muslim learners in public schools and observe their behavior in the said environment. After the rigorous analysis of the data from the interviews of the participants, the research has derived 7 themes that describe the positive experiences of Muslim learners with non-Muslim learners in public schools. Also, the participants revealed the need for support in the Madrasah Education Program in public schools and how teachers and educational sectors will include Islamic education in the curriculum. Finally, this research sheds light to continue the deeper understanding of the experiences of migrants in the community to mitigate discrimination, biases, and inequality through listening to their voices.
