contribute their time, effort and resources in ensuring that
public school facilities are set in time for the forthcoming

that has been institutionalized since 2009 when DepEd
issued DepEd Order #100

learning, e.g. museum, elders of the community as
key informants in research or resource persons in
the study of local history.

training ground for learners.

LEGAL BASES FOR
PARENTS AND
COMMUNITY
INVOLVEMENT
RA 9155, GOVERNANCE OF BASIC
EDUCATION ACT, SECTION E (10)
Explicitly states that one of the responsibilities of
school heads is “establishing school and community
networks and encouraging the active participation of
teachers organizations, non-academic personnel of
public schools, and parents-teachers-community
associations.
SECTION 3 (OF THE SAME
ACT)
Encourages “local initiatives for the improvement
of schools and learning centers and to provide the
means by which… improvements may be achieved
and sustained.
BATAS PAMBANSA BLG. 232,
EDUCATION ACT OF 1982, SECTION 7
Every educational institution shall provide for the
establishment of appropriate bodies through which the
members of the educational community may discuss
relevant issues and communicate information and
suggestions for assistance and support of the school and
for the promotion of their common interest.
Representatives from each subgroup f the educational
community shall sit and participate in these bodies, the
rules and procedures of which must be approved by them
and duly published.
RA 8525, ADOPT A-
SCHOOL PROGRAM ACT
It allows “private entities to assist a public school,
whether elementary, secondary, or tertiary,….in, but
not limited to, the following areas; staff and faculty
development for training and further education;
construction of facilities; upgrading of existing
facilities, provision of books, publications and other
instructional materials; and modernization of
instructional technologies.
Even the Philippine Education for All (EFA) 2015.
Plan, then a vision and a holistic program of
reforms that aimed to improve the quality of basic
education for every Filipino by the end of 2015
likewise states:
“Schools shall continue to harness local resources
and facilitate involvement of every sector of the
community in the school improvement process.”
This EFA 2015 Plan was extended in Education for All
Beyond 2015-Agenda 2030. Agenda 2030 has 7 new
educational targets from 2015-2030 that must involve
education stakeholders which in essence is school –
community partnership. UNESCO Assistant Director
General for Education, Dr. Qian Tang, himself admits
that Agenda 2030 cannot be realized without schools
partnering with community. He said: “Our vision must
be more aggressive, more committed not just
involving government, non-government agencies but
all stakeholders.
RA 9155, PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY ALSO
ENSURES…
1. Educational programs, projects and services take into account the
interests of all members of the community (Sec 3, d)
2. The schools and learning centers reflect the values of the community
by allowing teachers/learning facilitators and other staff to have the
flexibility to serve the needs of all learners (Sec 3, e)
3. Local initiatives for the improvement of schools and learning centers
are encouraged and the means by which these improvements may be
achieved and sustained are provided (Sec 3, f)
So schools
and
communities
function
better when
they
work as a
team
