Stakeholders Engagement In School Programs And Its Influence On Student Activities At Anacleto Villanueva Elementary School

Abstract

This study examined the extent of stakeholder engagement in school programs and its influence on student activities at Anacleto Villanueva Elementary School for School Year 2025–2026. Specifically, it identified the school programs and activities being implemented, assessed the level of engagement among parents, teachers, and community members, determined how stakeholder involvement affects student participation and performance, and identified the challenges experienced in sustaining meaningful engagement. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a researcher-made questionnaire composed of four parts: school programs and activities, stakeholders’ engagement, influence on student participation and performance, and perceived challenges. Data were gathered from teachers, parents, and community members and analyzed using weighted mean and composite mean.

Findings revealed that the school implements a wide range of academic, extracurricular, and collaborative programs aligned with institutional goals. Stakeholder engagement was generally high, with teachers demonstrating very high involvement in program implementation, parents showing strong support for student-related activities, and community members contributing through partnerships and participation in school events. Results further indicated that stakeholder engagement positively influences students’ participation and performance, fostering higher motivation, improved confidence, better academic habits, and increased involvement in school activities. However, several challenges were identified, including limited time, financial constraints, miscommunication, scheduling conflicts, and lack of awareness of stakeholder roles. Based on the findings, the “Bridges of Engagement Program” was proposed, an enhancement framework consisting of collaborative workshops, digital communication platforms, recognition systems, community-driven initiatives, and student-led engagement activities aimed at strengthening school–community partnerships and improving student outcomes.
