Who is accountable for children's education and where or who it starts from.

1. WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR
EDUCATION
LECTURE 14

2. I. INTRODUCTION
• The law, No Filipino Child Left Behind Act of
2010, holding schools accountable for
educating children to mandated standards,
leaving no child behind, to whom do we hold
accountable for the education of our
children? The teachers? The schools? The
parents? The community? The Church? Or to
the Child himself? Culture of accountability
varies from country to country, and from
region to region. How do we, as a member
of each organization hold each of these
systems accountable for providing quality
education to our next generation?

5. IV. ELEMENTS OF ACCOUNTABILITY
CULTURE
• “Everyone has the right to education. Article 26 of
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
• All people around the world have access to formal
education.
• Access and public penetration into education are a
key factor in education’s accountability culture.

6. Achievement
• There is a relationship between
education and student
achievement. Improved schools
resulted to improved achievement
of students.

12. V. WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR
EDUCATION
A. SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY:
• Some say government should take the
lead in holding schools accountable for
students’ educational success. Well
defined standards and testing, like those
in the recent “No Filipino Child Left
Behind” legislation, are the best way to
create and teach a quality curriculum.

13. • Supporters of this approach think schools work best
when teachers and students know what is expected of
them and society has a way to measure how well those
expectations are being met. Schools that lag behind
have clear goals for improvement, and when goals are
not met there are consequences.
• Critics of this approach think it makes schools focus
too much on teaching to the test. As a result, schools
may drop or de-emphasize subjects that aren’t on the
test like art, music, foreign languages, and creative
writing. They also say some local control is sacrificed to
state and national governments.
• Some critics believe that government can offer
suggestions or guidelines, but should not tell local
communities how to run their schools. Others believe
local communities, including parents and school
officials, should decide on their own what is best to
teach—and whether and how to test—their local
student body.
