Education Partnerships from the Lens of Private Sectors, Industry Partners, and Other Stakeholders

Marvin Vicente

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

It takes a village to raise a child. This saying resonates with the principle that school and community partnerships play an essential role in the sustainability of quality and equitable education among learners availing of public education. Industry partners and stakeholders are indispensable critical players in the education of children and young individuals in Cabuyao, Laguna, Philippines. Public school communities and private sectors form a linkage ensuring that the programs, projects, and activities (PPAs) of the schools that involve the learning and education of learners are most likely to be attained. This research employed a qualitative approach to determine the factors that motivate and discourage potential private partners and stakeholders from participating in education partnerships. Secondary data analysis of readily available data was utilized as the primary data source, where 19 industry partners or their representatives disclosed their perspectives on the given queries. The aim is to use the study’s findings in forging strong partnerships among school communities and private sectors, and industry partners in the City Schools Division of Cabuyao. Findings revealed important themes representing the motivating and demotivating factors that could affect their willingness to participate in education partnerships. Determinants of motivation include creating awareness, fostering collaboration, showcasing impact, and setting clear goals. On the other hand, trust issues, limited awareness, unclear objectives, and inadequate results are potential deterrence among potential partners and donors.
