 INSIGHTS
We firmly believe that effective school-community partnerships
empower both institutions to address challenges, leverage
resources, and create a supportive environment for the holistic
development of learners and the community at large.
We recognize the importance of frameworks like RA 9155 and RA
8525, which acknowledge the significance of school-community
partnerships. These laws provide avenues for collaboration,
enhancing educational quality and access for all.
Initiatives like the Philippine Education for All (EFA) 2015 Plan and
Agenda 2030 set ambitious goals for educational reform. They
underscore the crucial role of community involvement in achieving
these objectives.
