Importance of School-Community Partnerships




  School-Community Partnerships

The school is a learning center that serves as a custodian of the traditional values of the community. The school provides knowledge, friendship, and intelligence. School-community partnerships play an important role in successful schools, often providing support and resources to meet staff, family, and student needs that go beyond what is typically available through the school. The school and community are partners for the child’s sake.

The relationship with the community provides support, resources, and information that may include volunteers, local businesses, community agencies, community leaders, professionals, and/or university or high school students, or individuals from the community who partner with them. Each community partner provided unique and individualized support for the welfare of the learners for them to succeed in various life challenges.

The partnership may involve the use of school or neighbors’ facilities and equipment, sharing of other resources, collaborative fundraising raising, volunteer assistance, mentoring and training from professionals and others with special expertise, information sharing, and dissemination, networking, shared responsibility for planning, implementation, and evaluation of programs and services, expanding opportunities for internships, jobs, recreation and building a sense of community.

Schools can’t do it all. This is a reason why parent and teachers’ association (PTA) Brigada Eskwela and other school community activities existed and associations/activities center on one thing – to assure that quality education is being delivered to the learners for they are the most important clientele of education. The community may have something to teach the children in the same way that the school may have something to teach the community.  When schools and the community work together to support learning, everyone benefits and can prepare for a more promising future. And the pupils may be directed towards goodness and positive attitudes through collective efforts by the people surrounding them, and childcare providers, afterschool programs, resource connectors, mentoring and mental and physical health providers do as well. Nurturing a child to be an upright, responsible, and caring citizen is a task worth doing. If a child is raised in a way that could be beneficial to the community, there is no way that he will not be able to give pride to that community someday.
