Curriculum Stakeholders

1. Learners are at the core of the curriculum.

To what extent are the students involved in curriculum development? The old view that students
are mere recipients of the curriculum, is now changing. Learners have more dynamic participation from the
planning, designing, implementing and evaluating. However, the degree of their involvement is dependent
on their maturity. The older they are in high school or college, the more they participate. From another
angle, whether learners are in the elementary or college level, they can make or break curriculum
implementation by their active or non-involvement. After all, learners together with the teachers, put action
to the curriculum.

1. Teachers are curricularists.

Teachers are stakeholders who plan, design, teach, implement and evaluate the curriculum. No doubt, the
most important person in curriculum implementation is the teacher. Teachers' influence upon learners
cannot be measured. Better teachers foster better learning. But teachers need to continue with their
professional development to contribute to the success of curriculum implementation. Teachers should have
full knowledge of the program philosophy, content and components of curriculum and ways of teaching:

A teacher designs, enriches and modifies the curriculum to suit the learners' characteristics. As
curriculum developers, teachers are part of textbook committees, teacher selection, school evaluation
committee or textbooks and module writers themselves.

When a curriculum has already been written, the teacher's role is to implement like a technician,
however, teachers are reflective persons. They put their hearts into what they do. They are very mindful
that in the center of everything they do, is the learner.

2. School leaders are curriculum managers.

Principals and school heads, too, have important roles in curriculum implementation process in
schools. They should understand fully the need for change and the implementation process. They should
be ready to assist the teachers and the students in the implementation. Communication line should be
opening to all concerned should the school leaders lead in curriculum teamwork.
3. Parents

Parents are significant school partners. Besides the students, teachers and school administrators, play
an important role in curriculum implementation. When children bring home homework from school, some
parents are unable to help. Schools need to listen to parents' concerns about school curriculum like
textbooks, school activities, grading systems and others. Schools have one way of engaging parents'
cooperation through Brigada Eskwela. In this event, parents will be able to know the situation in the school.
Most often parents volunteer to help. They can also be tapped in various co-curricular activities as
chaperones to children in Boy and Girl Scouting, Science Camping and the like. Parents may not directly
be involved in curriculum implementation, but they are formidable partners for the success of any
curriculum development endeavour.

4. Community as the Curriculum Resources and a Learning Environment

"It takes the whole village to educate the child' goes the statement of former First Lady Hillary Clinton.
What do you think of this statement? Yes, it is true that the school is in the community, hence the
community is the extended school ground, a learning environment. All the barangay leaders, the elders,
others citizens and residents of the community have a stake in the curriculum. It is the bigger school
community that becomes the venue of learning. The rich natural and human resources of the community
can assist in educating the children. The community is the reflection of the school's influence and the
school is a reflection of the community support.

5. Other Stakeholders in Curriculum Implementation and Development

Some stakeholders may not have direct influence on the school cun•iculum. These are agencies
and organizations that are involved in the planning, design, implementation and evaluation of the school
curriculum. To name a few, the list follows.

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 agency that
certifies and issues teacher licenses to qualify one to teach and 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

Non-government agencies are organizations and foundations that have the main ftmction to
support education; To name a few, this includes 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 preschool children and out-of-
school youth have been established. Synergia — an organization/foundation that supports basic education
to elevate education through Reading, Science, Mathematics and English.

Metrobank Foundation — supports continuing teacher development programs.

Professional Organizations like Philippine Association For Teachers and Educators (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
many more.

A school curriculum, whether big or small is influenced by many stakeholders. Each one has a
contribution and influence in what should replace, modify and substitute the current curriculum. Each one
has a significant mark in specific development and change process of curriculum development.
