| Summary: | The purpose of this policy note is to
assess the current status of school-based management in
elementary and high schools in the Philippines. The findings
reported in the note are based on a comprehensive survey of
the public education system that tracked public education
expenditure and assessed the quality of education services.
The note shows that the key elements of an effective
school-based management system are in place. However,
schools report that they are not yet implementing many of
the key aspects of this system. Moreover, parents and local
communities still play a very limited role in
decision-making and in holding schools accountable. Given
the ever increasing amounts of resources that schools now
control and the need to give them more flexibility over how
to use those funds, this note argues that the role of
representative school governing councils could be expanded
and efforts made by DepEd to increase awareness among
parents and education stakeholders of the useful role they
could play in supporting school-based management. |
