Intended Learning
Outcomes:
At the end of this Chapter, you
should be able to:
• discuss at least two global issues
in society; and
• explain proposed solutions to the
social problems.
 INTRODUCTION
The world has become a global village. We have
become a citizen of a global community. What takes
place in one part of the globe no matter how far
affects us. It is a "small world after all" so goes the
song. In this Chapter, we will discuss global issues
that affect schools and us. It is hope that you are
able to propose solutions to social problems which
have become current global issues.

the 17 SDGs 2015-2030?
 ABSTRACTION - LET'S
CONCEPTUALIZE
The Top Ten Global Issues and How They Can be
Addressed
Climate Change
The global temperatures are rising, and are estimated to
increase from 2.6 degrees Celsius to 4.8 degrees Celsius by
2100. This would cause more severe weather, crises with food
and resources and the spread of diseases. The reduction of
greenhouse emissions and the spreading of education on the
importance of going green can help make a big difference
Lobbying governments and discussing policies to reduce carbon
emissions and encouraging reforestation is an effective way of
Pollution
Pollution includes ocean litter, pesticides and fertilizers, air, light
and noise pollution. Clean water is essential for humans and
animals, but more than one billion people don't have access to
clean water due to pollution from toxic substances, sewage or
industrial waste.
Violence
Violence can be found in the social, cultural and economic
aspects of the world. Whether it is conflict that has broken out in
a city, hatred targeted at a certain group of people or sexual
harassment occurring on the street, violence is a preventable
Here are various forms of violence:

Security and Well Being
The U.N is a perfect example of what should be done to prevent the
lack of security and well being a serious global issue. Through its efforts
with regional organizations and representatives that are skilled in
security, the UN is working toward increasing the well being of people
throughout the world.
Lack of Education
More than 72 million children throughout the globe that are of the age
to be in primary education are not enrolled in school. This can be
attributed to inequality and marginalization as well as poverty.
Fortunately, there are many organizations that work directly with the
issue of education in providing the proper tools and resources to aid
schools.
 The Philippines has consistently made a significant stride in its
functional literacy rate. Functional literacy, as defined by the
National Statistics Authority is the level of literacy which includes
not only reading and writing but also numeracy skills that would
help people cope with the daily demands of life. Based on the
2013 Functional Literacy, Education and Mass Media
Survey (FLEMMS), the country registered a 90.3% rate, which
means that nine out of every 10 Filipinos aged 10-64 were
functionally literate.
https://www.worldvision.org.ph/stories/improvingfunctionalliteracyin-thephilippines/l
Unemployment
Without the necessary education and skills for employment, many
people, particularly 15 to 24 years old, struggle to find jobs and create
a proper living for themselves and their families. This leads to a lack of
necessary resources, such as enough food, clothing, transportation and
proper living conditions.
The unemployment rate in the Philippines inched lower to 5.2 percent
in the March quarter of 2019 from 5.3 percent a year ago.
Unemployment rate in Philippines averaged 8.34 percent from 1994
until 2019, reaching an all time high of 13.90 percent in first quarter of
2000 and a record low of 4.70 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Retrieved 4-9-19)
Government Corruption
Means of corruption include graft, bribery, embezzlement, backdoor
deals, nepotism, and patronage. Corruption is a major cause of poverty
considering how it affects the poor the most, eroding political and
economic development, democracy and more. Corruption can be
detrimental to the safety and well being of citizens living within the
corrupted vicinity, and can cause an increase in violence and physical
threats without as much regulation in the government.
The Philippines ranked 94th out of 177 countries in Transparency
International's 2013 corruption index.
[Source: Trefor Moss, Wall Street Journal, May 29, 2014)
Malnourishment and Hunger
Currently there are 795 million people who do not have enough to eat.
Long-term success to ending world hunger starts with ending poverty. By
fighting poverty through proper training for employment, education and the
teaching of cooking and gardening skills, people who are suffering will be
more likely to get jobs, earn enough money to buy food and even learn how
to make their own food to save money.

Malnutrition, in all its forms, includes under nutrition (wasting, stunting,

underweight), inadequate vitamins or minerals, overweight, obesity, and
resulting diet-related noncommunicable diseases.

(https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/malnutrition)
The planet creates more than enough food to meet everyone's needs. But there
are still millions of hungry people in the world.

Substance Abuse-Substance abuse is "the harmful or hazardous use of

psychoactive substances, including alcohol and illicit drugs" (World Health
Organization) The United Nations reports that, by the beginning of the 21"
century, an estimated 185 million people over the age of 15 were consuming
drugs globally. The drugs most commonly used are marijuana, cocaine, alcohol,
amphetamine stimulants, opiates and volatile solvents. Different classes of
people, both poor and rich, partake in substance abuse, and it is a persistent
issue throughout the world but the developing world, marginalized groups and
communities are the most vulnerable to this reality. The Philippines faces this
huge problem on substance abuse. (https://issues.tigweb.org/substance)
Terrorism
Terrorism is an issue throughout the world that causes fear and
insecurity, violence and death. Across the globe, terrorists attack
innocent people, often without warning. This makes civilians feel
defenseless in their everyday lives. Making national security a
higher priority is key in combating terrorism, as well as promoting
justice in wrongdoings to illustrate the enforcement of the law
and the serious punishments for terror crimes.

The 17 SDGS
UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, said: "The seventeen Sustainable Development
Goals are our shared vision of humanity and a social contract between the world's
leaders and the people. They are a to-do list for people and planet and a blueprint for
success."
After Millennium Development Goals of 2015, here comes another to-do list for the sake
of the entire humanity. Refer to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, 2015-2030 in
the first part of this Chapter.
Global Issues, SDGs 2015-2030 and Education
In September 2015, the General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development that includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Building on the
principle of "leaving no one behind", the new Agenda emphasizes a holistic approach to
achieving sustainable development. The realization of the 17 SDGs means solving the
top global issues cited by two sources.
These global issues and SDGs 2015-2030 must be intentionally taught in schools
 APPLICATION - LET'S APPLY
1. Based on the top ten global issues and the 17 SDGs, choose one global
issue/SDG and give suggestions on what schools must do to address the
issue.
2. What moves has the Philippine government taken to ensure equitable
access to education for all its citizens?
3. Poverty is ranked #4 among the top 10 issues cited by World Economic
Forum's Global Shapers Survey in 2017. Education is supposed to liberate
people from poverty. The Philippines has a comparatively higher literacy rate.
Based on the Literacy Statistics, Functional Literacy, Education and Mass
Media. Survey (FLEMMS) of 2013, 96.5 percent of Filipinos were literate, an
improvement from 95.6 percent in 2008. How come the Philippines has one of
the highest number of educated people and yet we remain to be "islands of
affluence amidst a sea of poverty" meaning poverty abounds?
4. Go over the K to 12 Curriculum Guide. Find out where these global issues
and SDGs are integrated. If you find one or more not integrated in the K to 12
Curriculum, identify points of integration in the curriculum.

Global Issue / SDG In what subject and topic can it be integrated?

1. 1.

2. 2.

5. Some blame the Philippine's corruption problem on the merging of Filipino

traditions with American institutions. One Filipino political scientist told
Smithsonian magazine, "Americans taught us the idea of honesty and
integrity in civil service but local culture conflicts with the democratic model.
With no tradition of civil service and the prevalence of strong family and
community ties, bribery and nepotism have seeped into the system.

 CHAPTER 6
The Why and How of
School and Community
Partnership
LEARNING
OUTCOMES:
At the end of this Chapter, you should be able
to
• explain what school and community
partnership means
• explain the legal and sociological bases of
school and community partnership; and
• cite examples of school-community
partnerships.
ACTIVITY - LET'S DO THIS
1.Based on your school experiences, list down ways by which a
community helps a school and ways by which a school helps a
community. Come up with an exhaustive list.
2.Group yourselves by 6. Compare your lists. Come up with a
final list in which communities help schools and in which
schools help communities.
ANALYSIS - LET'S ANALYZE

Based on your group list, is there real partnership between

school and community? Or do you find one party (like the
school) more favored because it gets more help than the
other? Defend your answer.
ABSTRACTION LET'S
CONCEPTUALIZE
Opportunities for School-Community Partnership

Partnership implies two parties helping each other. Both parties

benefit. This means that if a school community partnership
exists. both parties benefit from the relationship. Thus in the
following paragraphs we shall present what communities can do
for schools and what schools can do for communities.

What can the community do for schools?

Here are examples of what a community can do for schools.

1.Brigada Eskwela. This program engages all education stakeholders to

contribute their time, effort and resources in ensuring that public school
facilities are set in time for the forthcoming school opening It takes place
more or less two weeks before classes begin in June. This is a school
maintenance program that has been institutionalized since 2009 when
DepEd issued DepEd Order # 100
2.Curriculum development. This can mean use of community resources for
learning eg. museum, elders of the community as key informants in research
or resource persons in the study of local history
3. Work experience programs. Business establishments and offices in the
community can serve as training ground for learners. A concrete example is
the Work Immersion required of Senior High School students. In this Work
Immersion, students are given the opportunity to work in relevant
establishments or offices in the community to help develop in them "the
competencies, work ethics, and values relevant to pursuing further education
and/or joining the world of work.... Partner offices for immersion provide
Senior High School students with opportunities: "1) to become familiar with
the work place; 2) for employment simulation, and 3) to apply their
competencies in areas of specialization /applied subjects in authentic work
environments (Enclosure to DepEd Order No. 30. 3. 2017).
• In this school-community partnership, the school can fulfill what
curriculum requires and may improve on their curriculum based on
community feedback, enables the students to undergo hands-on
work experience, while community establishments contribute to
the formation of graduates who are more ready for life and more
equipped for the world of work Business establishments or any
world of work in the community are the ultimate beneficiaries of
these graduates who have been more prepared through work
immersion.
• Some schools call this service learning since it actively involves
students in a wide range of experiences which benefits students
and the community at the same time fulfilling the requirement of a
curriculum.
4. Remediation and enrichment classes Parents and retired teachers may
be involved in the School Reading remediation and Learning Enrichment
Programs.

5. Youth Development Programs The young may involve themselves in

youth development programs and develop their skills and talents, learn
how to deal positively with peers and adults and serve as resources in their
communities.

6. Community Service Examples of community service are students

participating in tutorial programs, community reforestation programs,
clean up drive for a river, assisting in medical mission, school head
involved in planning local celebrations, teachers managing programs,
What can schools do for communities in return?
Schools may allow the community to use school resources.
Here are concrete examples enumerated by the DepEd Primer on School Community
Partnership:
• Classroom used by community organizations for meetings
• School used as a polling place and venue for medical mission which it may
co-sponsor with the Rural Health Unit
• School used by the Rural Health Unit for mothers' class on child care
• School used as an evacuation center
• School facilities used for community assemblies
• School basketball court used for local celebrations and barangay sports league
• Schools conduct livelihood skills-training programs for parents and out-of-school
youths by using school resources
• Livelihood skills-training for parents and out-of-school-youths by teachers
themselves
Learning from the Experiences of Schools and Community
Partners
Here are concrete examples:
1.Dumingaga Central School, Dumingag, Zamboanga del Sur
Strong school community partnership Feeding program was maintained by
community donors Mother Butler Mission Guild, barangay councils, office of
the mayor, parents who budgeted, cooked, purchased "Kiddie Cop" classes
Cops lectures on good manners and right conduct, drug addiction, child abuse,
child welfare Municipal Welfare and Development Office Municipal Health
Office conducted special classes on health and nutrition, rights of the child.
 1.Angels Magic Spot and Project REACH, etc. Pembo Elementary
School, Makati
Pembo Angels Magic Spot (PAMS) were the volunteer environmental steward-
students of Pembo Elementary School while magic spots were the small
dumpsites or empty lots in the barangay which were converted by the students
into vegetable gardens from which members of the barangay could harvest for
home supply, the school for their feeding program or sold them for cash for the
purchase of seedlings and planting of more vegetables PAMS brought together
students, teachers, school head, parents barangay officials and other members
of the community clean up little nooks for garbage and converted them into
green areas with vegetables shared by all It also taught gardening skills and
positive attitude toward work to students and supplemented the feeding
program for the underweight and the malnourished in the school, Project BOWLS
(Brain Operates Well on Loaded Stomachs).
Another effective practice was Enthusiasm for Assistance to Children of
Humanity (REACH) Project Revitalized where each teacher adopted one student
and acted as his/her mentor for the entire school year. The teacher gave free
tutorial to the adopted student during his/her free time, visit the student's
family every now and in some instances gave the student a daily allowance of
ten pesos from the teacher's own pocket This contributed to improved
performance of Pembo Elementary School. 23rd in rank in the Division
Achievement Test zoomed up to rank 9 and six years later rank 1 (near-zero
drop out rate), ad Kid.

Urbanidad Kids were ideal students who acted as role mod-els for the students
and the PEMBO community. They were the cleanest, most well-mannered and
most diligent in class.
BOWLS means Brain Operates Well on Loaded Stomach Every recess, children who were
selected by the school as BOWLS beneficiaries due to malnutrition were provided a free
bowl of lugaw.
Pera sa Panapon was a weekly trash market where students, their parents and other
members of the community were invited to bring their recyclable garbage. The project
helped the school purchase the necessary supplies and was able to support two students
to a 2010 math competition in Singapore.
Sociological Basis of School-Community Partnership?
The functionalist theory states that institutions must perform their respective functions for
the stability of society Other institutions must come in if one institution fails to do its part
for the sake of society. The school cannot do it all "It takes a village to educate a child", so
goes the African proverb. It has to work in partnership with other institutions in the
community such as the church, government organizations and non-government
organizations with the breakdown of families, schools face greater challenge in educating
The rearing and education of the child is the primary obligation of parents. The
school, the Church and other social institutions come in to assist parents and
families to fulfill their irreplaceable obligation. The breakdown of marriages, the
demand for both mother and father to work to meet the demands of a rising cost
of living resulting to less or practically no more time for parents to spend time
with their children have, however, attacked the stability of families and have
adversely affected families in the performance of their irreplaceable duty to
educate children. Added to these is the increasing number of families composed
of single mothers struggling to raise a family. With the burden of earning lodged
solely on the shoulders of one parent, single parents struggle to earn enough to
provide for their families. Consequently, this responsibility leads to their having a
limited amount of time to spend for and with growing and developing children
who, unfortunately become more likely single-parent families themselves. The
This is not to mention the negative effect of uncontrolled and unregulated use of
technology on the young. While the use of technology has brought a lot of
convenience its uncontrolled and unregulated use by the tech-savvy kids expose
these kids to all sorts of information not necessarily favorable for their
development. So families, schools and other social institutions need to work
together to save the youth.
Legal Bases for Parents and Community Involvement
It is no wonder why even our laws support school-community partnership. 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,
nonacademic personnel of public schools, and parents-teachers-community
associations."
Section 3 (f) 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,
otherwise known as the Education Act of1982, Section 7 states that:

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 of the educational community shall sit and
participate in these bodies, the rules and procedures of which must be
approved by them and duly published.
Another law, RA. 8525, Adopt -A-School Program Act, also provides for school-
community partnership. 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 end 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 to 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, states that partnership between school and community also ensures... that:
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); and 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.
Application-Let's Apply
1.Illustrate with a cartoon or a diagram the partnership between school and
community.
2.Develop a tool to evaluate the extent and quality of school and community
partnership.
3.Pretend you are an Instructor/Professor in this professional course, The
Teacher and the Community, School Culture and Organizational Leadership.
Your lesson has this learning outcome: To explain the sociological and legal
bases of school and community partnership. How will you proceed?
Deliver your lecture.
4.School and community partnership enhances sense of own-ership and sense
of belonging. What do these mean? How will these impact on schools and
communities?
 TAKEAWAYS
• School and community partnership means school head, tea learners, parents
of learners and non-teaching personnel together with civic and religious
leaders, alumni, other parents government organizations, government
organizations for the children.
• The upbringing of children is the main and irreplaceable duty and
responsibility of of the family. But with the weakening influence of the family
on the upbringing of children and with children's unlimited exposure to
modern technology like the internet, the challenge for schools to teach the
young has become even greater. So schools cannot do it all. They have to
partner with community.
• In this partnership, children, the primary customers of schools, are most
benefited but school and community are likewise mutually benefited.
• RA 9155, also known as the Governance of Basic Education Act, BP
232 which is the Education Act of 1982, RA. 8525, Adopt -A-School
Program Act and Agenda 2030 stipulate school and community
partnership.
• There are many opportunities for school and community partnership.
The Brigada Eskwela which is now institutionalized in DepEd Schools
is a glaring proof of school and community partnership. Schools with
all its human and material resources can offer services also to the
community in many ways.
