Legal Bases of School-Based Management
Four principles are the basis for validating the school's SBM Level of Practice: Leadership and Governance, Curriculum and Learning, Accountability and Continuous Improvement, and Management of Resources.
2. The aim of school-based
management is to enhance school
systems, improve teaching and
learning for better student
achievements, empower school
officials and train them to be better
leaders, promote accountability and,
with the pandemic still around,
ensure the safety and welfare of all
members of school communities
Vision
- empowered schools
-proactive school heads
-innovative teachers
-engaged community stakeholders
-improved student academic performance and psycho-social growth
School-Based Management
This is the vision of the Department of Education (DepEd) for
schools in the country. This is the essence of School-Based
Management (SBM), a strategy that paves the way for quality
education and holistic development for our school children.
3. School-Based Management is the decentralization of
decision-making authority in schools. At the school level,
school heads, teachers, and students work together with
community leaders, local government officials, and other
stakeholders to improve school performance.
What is School-Based Management
4. -empower
every school to
continuously
improve it's
performance in
attaining
desired
outcomes for
students;
SBM aims to:
-engage
stakeholders in
shared
decision-
making;
-lead the school
staff, together
with other
stakeholders in
identifying and
addressing
school issues and
concerns that
affect student
outcomes;
5. -create a
support network
of community-
based
stakeholders
that will mobilize
social, political,
cultural, and
economic
resources; and
SBM aims to:
-make
stakeholders
accountable for
school
performance
and student
outcomes
-giving schools
some degree of
autonomy
6. The importance of
SBM in improving
learning outcomes
has been
emphasized in
different legal
documents and
issuances.

by school operations are in the best
position to plan, manage and improve
the school.

33. The country's education strategy is anchored on the National
Education for All (EFA) 2015 Plan and attainment of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) which aim to provide an overarching
policy framework for basic education with a vision that all Filipinos
will acquire basic competencies.
Basic Education Sector Reform
Agenda (BESRA)
This particular challenges for basic education have been
acknowledge by the country's leaders and educators and there
have been important gains made in the last decade.
34. Important initiatives on rationalization were introduced by Deped
administration following the passage of the Governance of Basic
Education Act (Republic Act RA 9155) om 2001 with its emphasis on
its declaration that "the school shall be the heart of the formal
education system."
Basic Education Sector Reform
Agenda (BESRA)
The reform proposal were progressively refined and by 2005,
there was widespread consensus on the need for urgent sector-
wide strategies that would place schools first and empower local
communities to take initiative to achieve social improvement.
This consensus was articulated as the:

38. BESRA is a package of
interrelated policy actions
intended to bring about a
fundamental change in
how education is delivered
across the basic education
sector, and in how reforms
in the basic education
sector are planned and
implemented.
What exactly is the Basic Education
Sector Reform Agenda or BESRA?
39. BESRA
The BESRA policy actions are organized
under Five Key Reform Thrusts (KRTs) that
focus on:
40. The first KRT relates to the
reform principle that the best
people to improve the quality of
schools are the people most
directly affected by the school's
operations - namely the school
heads, the teachers, the
students' parents and others in
the community.
Strengthened School-
Based Management (SBM)
1.
Ex. Implementation of School and
Annual Improvement Plans
MOOE - Maintenance / Operation of
Expenses based on needs
41. The second KRT focuses on the
important role of the teachers as
driving force in improving student
learning and educational quality
at the school level.
2. Improved teaching effectiveness
and teacher development
Ex. Teacher's in-service trainings,
seminars, and scholarships/
National Competency Based
Teachers Standards or (NCBTS)
application and implementation
42. The third KRT is focused on
ensuring wide social support for
learning in schools. People from
all sectors of society play an
important role not only in
supporting schools and all the
curricular processes that aim to
promote student learning.
3. Enhanced quality assurance
through standards and
assessment.
Ex. Brigada Eskwela, GPTCA, Brgy.
RTA, Vendors, Gov.t Officials, Private
sectors and NGOs
43. The fourth KRT emphasizes the
variety of educational
experiences that can help
learners attain the learning
goals. This includes having early
childhood learning experiences,
alternative learning systems, and
other varied learning
experiences to help students
attain highest levels of learning.
4. Improved access and learning
outcomes through alternative
learning, etc.
Ex. Full implementation of RBEC
instruction, learning resources,
curricular and extra curricular
activities.
44. The fifth KRT refers to the
Department of Education's
Institutional culture change from
prescribing actions through
orders and memos to facilitating
school initiatives and assuring
quality.
5. Institutionalized culture change
in the DepEd
45. Question
Why is the BESRA a good
reform package?
Why BESRA is the promise of
redemption?
These policy reforms are
expected to create critical
changes necessary to further
accelerate, broaden, deepen
and sustain the improved
education effort already
being started by the Schools
First Initiative. This package
of policy reforms is called the
Basic Education Sector
Reform Agenda (BESRA).
46. According to Dr. Allan Bernardo, a professor of De La Salle
University in a Forum on Education about BESRA's Promise... "There
are many important reasons why BESRA is a truly positive set of
policy reform initiatives.
Basic Education Sector Reform
Agenda (BESRA)
The most important reason is the Educational Philosophy
underlying the various components BESRA. All components of the
reform initiatives are intended to help Filipino learners to attain
higher levels of learning and achievement. The higher levels of
learning are defined in terms of cognitive and affective
knowledge in the major learning areas that would allow the
learner to effectively participate in diverse and complex life
situations beyond the school and to continue life learning."
47. First, BESRA
focuses on the
improving student
learning
processes and
outcome.
Nine Positive Qualities of BESRA
Second, BESRA
affirms the need
to employ diverse
approaches to
facilitating
learning in the
classroom.
Third, BESRA locates
the reform
interventions at the
level of the school
and the classroom.
48. Fourth, locating the
reform initiatives at
the school level also
creates stronger
accountabilities to
the community, and
allows for more
responsive and
more relevant
school programs.
Nine Positive Qualities of BESRA
Fifth, BESRA
recognizes the
important role of
teachers and
teacher
development in
improving student
learning
outcomes.
Sixth, BESRA builds on
community-school
relationships, and aims
to strengthen such
relationships by looking
at the community as a
resource for improving
schools, and by
ensuring that schools
are accountable to the
community.
49. Seventh, BESRA
reforms are based
on previous
interventions that
worked.
Nine Positive Qualities of BESRA
Derived from pilot
projects such as the
Third Elementary
Education Project (TEEP),
the Basic Education
assistance for Mindanao
(BEAM) and the
Strengthening
Implementation of
Visayas Education
(STRIVE) and other
reform initiatives.
Eight, the BESRA shifts
the reform initiatives of
the DepEd from project
approach to a more
organic approach.
50. Finally, the BESRA reforms are truly positive because BESRA is
DepEd's reform initiative. It is not imposed by an external agency,
or some foreign-assisted project. In developing the specific
components of BESRA, the DepEd offices responsible undertook a
most extensive consultation with a wide range of stakeholders
within the DepEd and among the various stakeholders of the
Philippine Basic Education Sector.
Nine Positive Qualities of BESRA
51. (SBM is the lynchpin of BESRA)
DepEd's Achievements BESRA
focusing SBM
Lynchpin - means the one that
serves to hold together parts or
elements that exist or function as
a unit.
52. The adoption and Roll-Down of the
School-Based Management (SBM)
Framework and Standards for
implementation of a comprehensive SBM
at the regional, division and school level of
all schools in the Philippines.
53. The release of SBM grants in support of
activities that enhance learning, the
drilling of down of the MOOE to schools to
cash and related policies in support of the
school's financial accountability for the
MOOE are also notable.
54. There is evidence of general awareness of
SBM, with 80%-90% of schools and school
heads having been oriented to its practices
have 5-year School Improvement Plans and
have begun to mobilize stakeholders'
support or organized School Governing
Council with representatives from various
sectors in the community.

where no one is poor. People live long and healthy lives and
are smart and innovative. The Philippines is a high-trust
society where families thrive in vibrant, culturally diverse,
and resilient communities.
-AmBisyon Natin 2040
84. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are part of the
Millennium Declaration by 189 countries, including the 147 Heads
of State, in September 2000. The goals and targets are interrelated
and should be viewed as a whole. Built on the outcomes of the
international conferences of the 1990s, the Millennium Declaration
marked a strong commitment the right to development, to the
eradication of the many dimensions of poverty, and to gender
equality and the empowerment of women. The Declaration
mainstreams into the global development agenda eight mutually
reinforcing goals, to be achieved by 2015, that are driving national
development and international cooperation.
