Abstract: | While it is true that SBM shapes and charts the direction of school operations, it is interesting to discuss how a developing
country like the Philippines is influenced by this reform strategy as a structural and procedural framework in managing its
system of education, particularly, its basic education sector which through the years has been criticized for its alarming
state as shown by its performance indicators rates. This paper purports to provide a panorama on how school-based management
as a restructuring framework is viewed and interpreted by the basic education sector which constitutes the largest portion
of the country’s educational system. Specifically, the eight key elements of successful SBM schools, namely: (1) an active
vision; (2) meaningful decision-making authority; (3) distribution of power; (4) development and use of knowledge and skills;
(5) collecting and communicating information; (6) rewards for progress; (7) shared leadership; and (8) cultivating resources,
were used to serve the purpose of this discourse. |
