Improving the School Safety of Pongtod Elementary School through Construction of School Steel Gate

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Provision of a good learning environment in order to increase the achievement performance of learners is the primary concern of school administrators for which managing a school is not an easy task to do. It needs the skill and ability to act accordingly and of controlling a business or department to be collaboratively done. Schools need to have appropriate security measures in place to protect school property and assure a safe and secure environment for staff and pupils. Safety is never an option but a default priority. Hence, one should not wait to cure it, it must be given attention and solution.

METHODS

There are many ways to reach this goal; one of which is to conduct meetings with parents, GPTA, with the stakeholders, local and municipal officials, and private individuals. The purpose of the said meeting is to listen to the voice of the customer/learners in order to collect brilliant ideas that might contribute to the solution of the present problem/situation of the school. Planning and organizing the school data is very vital in order to have a reliable baseline of the existing situation. Sourcing out for funding is very necessary for financial stability and the implementation phase of the project will soon start.

RESULTS

Listing of the gathered opinions, ideas, and suggestions of the stakeholders is the result of the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) being done. First is the prioritization and assessment innovation. Second is the donation of parents, Local School Board budget share, and school Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) budget share. Third, the parents and other stakeholders were motivated and encouraged to support the school program and projects, and they were glad to see the complete implementation of the school gate.

DISCUSSIONS

The result demonstrates the need for the active involvement of the school head, teaching staff, and other stakeholders in order for the implementation to be more effective. Whatever programs and projects in school, the parents must be properly informed to ask their full support moral and financial assistance. The school head cannot do it alone without collaboration to other people, the parents of the pupils, stakeholders, community people that will lead to a successful implementation and harmonious relationship to the partner of the school, the community.
