I. INTRODUCTION

Every adult, if seen, heard and valued for their strengths and gifts, has much to offer directly and
indirectly to the growth and development of children. Family, school and community stakeholders are
sources of connection and love, resources and opportunities, learning and play for every learners. They
are sources of expertise in careers, hobbies and much more. They are sources of inspiration, hope and
resilience.

When schools begin any planning process to meet needs, solve problems, or create capacity for
learners, it makes sense to intentionally fill in blindspots with information and perspectives from as
many stakeholders as possible.

II. OBJECTIVES

• To identify the stakeholders of the curriculum

• To enumerate the role of each stakeholder

STAKEHOLDERS IN CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION

WHAT ARE STAKEHOLDERS?

Definition of STAKEHOLDER relating to Curriculum Implementation

Stakeholders are individuals or institutions that are interested in the school curriculum. Their interests
vary in degree and complexity. They get involved in many ways in the implementation because the
curriculum affects them directly or indirectly. These stakeholders shape the school curriculum
implementation
CURRICULUM STAKEHOLDERS

1. LEARNERS

Role: They are the core of the curriculum.

- The learners are the very reason a curriculum is developed. They are the ones who are directly
influenced by it.

- At the end of the curriculum development process, the fundamental question asked is: Have the
students learned?

2. TEACHERS

Role: They implement the developed curriculum.

 They are what we called the “Curricularists”, they are the ones who plan, design, implement and
evaluate the curriculum. In implementing a certain curriculum, the teacher should have full
knowledge of the program philosophy, its contents, components and the ways of teaching or
applying it.

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE TEACHERS DO IN CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION ARE:

1. Guiding, facilitating and directing the activities of the learners.

2. Choosing the activities and the methods to be utilized.

3. Choosing the materials that are necessary for the activity.

4. Evaluating the whole implementation process.

5. Making a decision whether to continue, modify, or terminate the curriculum.

These are the things which contribute to the success of the implementation of a curriculum. An
unsuccessful implementation may even lead to educational failure.

3. SCHOOL LEADERS

Role: They are the Curriculum Managers

- Principals and school heads have important roles in curriculum implementation process in schools.
They supervise in curriculum implementation, select and recruit new teachers, admit students, procure
equipment and materials needed for effective learning.

4. PARENTS

Role: They support the Curriculum

- “My child and my money go to this school” this statement simply implies that parents best supports
the school their children is attending. They invest their money to a school which can provide a quality
education to their children. The money that they give as school fees or donations, provides or upgrades
instructional materials, school activities and other facilities in the school which motivates the learners to
indulge themselves more in learning.

HOW DO PARENTS HELP SHAPE THE CURRICULUM IN SCHOOLS? HERE ARE SOME OBSERVATIONS:

1. The school composed of parents who are positively involved in activities have better
achievement than schools with uninvolved parents. Disciplinary problems are minimal and
students are highly motivated. When parents take interest in their child’s learning, they become
closer to the school.

2. The home is the extended school environment. Parents see to it that what their children learn in
school are practiced at home. They follow up lessons, they make available materials for learning
and they give permission for the participation of their children.

5. COMMUNITY

Role: The Curriculum Resources and Learning Environment

 The success in the implementation of the curriculum requires resources. However, most often
teachers complain that resources are very scarce. There are no books, materials nor facilities
available. These are usual complaints of teachers. The community members and materials in the
existing local community can very well substitute for what are needed to implement the
curriculum.
 In most schools, parent associations are organized. This is being encouraged in School Based
Management. In some cases, this organization also include teachers to expand the school
learning community. Many school projects and activities are supported by this organization.

6. OTHER STAKEHOLDERS IN CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION AND DEVELOPMENT

6.1 Government Agencies

• DepEd, TESDA,CHED – Trifocalized agencies that have regulatory and mandatory authorities
over the implementation of the curricula.
• Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and Civil Service Commission (CSC) – The first
agency certifies and issues teacher licenses to qualify one to teach and the second, affirms and
confirms the appointment of teachers in the public schools.
• Local Government Units (LGU) include the municipal government officials and the Barangay
Officials. Some of the teachers are paid through the budget of the LGUs. They also construct
school buildings, provide equipment, support the professional development teachers and
provide school supplies and books. They are the big supporters in the implementation of a
school curriculum.

6.2 Non-Government Agencies

- Are organizations and foundations that have the main function to support education. To name a
few, this will include the following:
 • Gawad Kalinga (GK) – to build communities means to include education. The full support of GK
in early childhood education is very significant. In each village, a school for pre-school children
and out of school youth have been established.
• Synergia – an organization/foundation that support basic education to elevate education
through Reading, Science, Mathematics and English.
• Metrobank Foundation – supports continuing teacher development programs.
• Professional Organizations like Philippine Association For Teacher Eduction (PAFTE), State
Universities and Colleges Teacher Educators Association (SUCTEA), National Organization of
Science Teachers and Educators (NOSTE), Mathematics Teachers Association of the Philippines
(MTAP) and more.
These are just some of the Non-Government Agencies which contributes to the success of a
Curriculum.
