The school and the community serve as alliances in national
development. How can the school administrators
determine the parameters of the symbiotic relationship?

learned concepts, theories and methods in the classroom
experience. This is very important for the development of

are further refined in the society.

specifically the CWTS, its is very practical if the student could be assigned to the place
where they are residing to enable them to deal with work condition that are closest to
the realities in the areas.

expected to provide the necessary guidance and direction for the day-to-day activities
