The study used a questionnaire as a data collection tool and analyzed using the survey analysis method. The main findings of the study are, that an MPP is designed with a set of morphophonemic rules and most of the teachers and students are satisfied and excited to use the designed MPP in their teaching and learning. The results show that 87% of the teachers and students strongly agree that they are satisfied and 64.5% of them said that the parser helps them to learn easily. These results suggest the use of MPPs in educational institutions.
