Quality Education Practices of a Local Government Unit with Blue Seal of Good Education Governance

Nezel Duque

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study described and analyzed the dynamics of quality education practices of the Municipality of Solano, Nueva Vizcaya through its in-place mechanisms and procedures on the composition of Local School Board (LSB), its duties and functions as well as the processes, outputs, outcomes and impact of the shared education governance and ultimately craft a prototype municipal ordinance to sustain the blue seal of good education governance of the local government unit.This study followed the descriptive-evaluative and correlational designs inasmuch as the study framework made use of the Input-Process-Output- Outcome-Impact (IPOOI) research paradigm in which some selected variables were correlated to each other. There exist very good systems and procedures as regard LSB composition and duties, operations and maintenance of schools, construction and repair of school buildings, facilities and equipment, purchase of books and record, sports development and education continuity amidst the pandemic. There also exist very good processes despite some challenges especially on SEF allocation, priority listing of PPAs by school, fund sourcing outside SEF, approval and implementation of PPAs, monitoring and evaluation and submission of reportorial requirements. Also, the processes and outputs, as gleaned from programs, projects and activities implemented describe the dynamics of quality education practices of LGU Solano as very good. The extent of implementation of plans, policies and procedures is admirable as seen in the increased reading performance, cohort survival rating and school-based level of management practice.From the findings, it can be inferred that LGU Solano’s Education governance and management are admirable in all aspects providing a model for others. Also, the Blue Seal of Good Education Governance reflects how shared partnership and shared roles of various stakeholders could promote and enhance basic education.
