Abstract / Excerpt:

The study entitled "Participation of Maguindanaon Moro community in Alternative learning system management" was conducted to analyze ALS implementation in the Maguindanaon community using the lens of participation approaches and strategies in program management that are appropriate especially to the community. Results of the study show that the stakeholders, particularly the Maguindanaon community members, did not participate regularly in the program because of the following reasons: (1)the strong influence of the islamic religious group on other community sectors to support only a purely culture-based program management; (2) the DepEd's unprepared turnover of the program to the municipal LGUs which resulted in the latter's limited technical and financial assistance to the program; and, (3) the scarce human and financial resources of the District DepEd which resulted in limited program campaign, inadequate support for the contextualization of ALS learning modules and insufficient training programs for community members. Cognizant of the foregoing findings, the grassroots stakeholders should collaboratively design a participation system founded on the following arrangements: (1) harmony of program operation policies and strategies with the cultural beliefs and practices of the community; (2) assumption of roles by the stakeholders based on their individual interest and capacity; (2) enhancement of the stakeholders' skills to ensure effective and efficient performance of their roles in the program; (3) institutionalization of a convergence system that will promote complementation among stakeholders during the management process; (4) establishment of participation conditions that will stir up program implementation; and (5) institutionalization of local initiatives for fund sourcing and human resource augmentation to ensure program sustainability.
