DISCUSSIONS

The school as an institution of learning, which aims to provide quality education to the learners, delivers the curriculum instruction with various strategies. With this, the institutional performance in many aspects must be improved to better deliver quality services to all the stakeholders. One of the aspects of services that need to be addressed is the School-based Management (SBM). The next is the School Performance Indicators which is the quantitated result of the school's performance on access and quality. Also, the teaching and learning performance must also be given attention since this is the core responsibility of the school which is to provide quality teaching experience to the learners. This can also be improved if all personnel look for solutions to improve the practices. With this, the school also needs to improve the action research level of practice. Also, quality education cannot be attained if the environment is not safe and child-friendly. This is why the Disaster Risk Reduction Program and Child-friendly School System must also be given emphasis. In connection, it is suggested that when they implement the program, they still need to focus on the school performance profile.
