Project ESIP for Brigada Eskwela

Flagship of Bitaugan East Integrated School SY 2022- 2023 E – Engage and Encourage Local Business, Families, School Personnel, Community Members and other Potential Partners to Provide meaningful feedback on School Programs, Policies, Practices, Projects, and Goals. S – Strengthen Stakeholders Participation for Implementation of Programs and Projects. I – Involve in School-Decision making in Solving School Issues and Problems. P – Provide Financial Assistance or Equipment for School Projects and Activities. Rationale The Brigada Eskwela Program is one of the most important programs in DepEd. In the spirit of bayanihan, private institutions/individuals, government agencies, local government units, and other organizations contribute to DepEd campaign to ensure accessible and quality basic education. Educational stakeholder volunteerism should be promoted and strengthened among public schools to form collaboration and partnership of internal and external stakeholders to ensure success in educational undertakings and yield remarkable learning outcomes. Through this initiative, the importance of the community is recognized in making schools the best place for learners to acquire values and competencies needed to contribute to nation-building. Clean classrooms, well-maintained learning tools, and attractive landscaping inspire students to attend school, study hard and persevere to achieve their goals.

Jungay, T. D., and Guillo, R. M., (2019) stressed that stakeholders play an important role in helping schools function well. They are partners of the school leaders in making and ensuring that the school is conducive to the teaching and learning process. They are also responsible for the achievement of learning outcomes through their active participation in school activities, programs, and projects. Almost every project implemented by the school involves stakeholders that take the central role in task accomplishment. Stakeholders are instrumental in the successful implementation of school programs. Undeniably, schools need external partners to assist school administrators and teachers in sustaining the life of school affairs throughout times to ensure quality education for students. To achieve maximum benefit from community partnership efforts, administrators, teachers, and community partners must work collaboratively to establish common goals and a clear understanding of the purpose of the partnership. This can be especially true during the implementation phase where community partners may have identified a school in their community they wish to partner with, but do not know how to establish the partnership (Olaivar and Pobar, 2018). Dechos ( 2017) revealed that in the weeklong activity, only during the first three days can you see large volume of volunteers. Some activities are not accomplished because teachers were also busy preparing their classes. They were not cooperative in terms of school improvement because they were attending to the readiness of their classrooms. School heads are busy attending to some other reports and time constrains made them a solid interference. They confessed that they have difficulty in tapping partners who will support in the BE implementation. Some stakeholders did not know the significance of the activity due to poor information campaign of the schools. There was no proper procedure in the conduct of the activities. Schools prepared the reports for the sake of submission. When this attitude is present, one could not expect good output of Brigada Eskwela report. The school’s Flagship ESIP Program, “Project ESIP” aims to strengthen partnership engagements that complement DepEd’s efforts to ensure quality basic education. This will also serve as basis in making plan of activities that will serve as guide in the successful implementation of Brigada Eskwela program in the years to come.
