The document discusses the School Governance Council (SGC) established by DepEd Order #26, s. 2022. The SGC aims to strengthen the role of school stakeholders in providing quality education and upholding children's rights. It serves as a collective body for school planning and as a feedback mechanism to improve education services. The SGC includes ex officio members from student government, PTA, and faculty, as well as council members from committees on education, alumni, religious organizations, NGOs, and the community. However, the SGC does not replace existing school committees and has limitations such as not directly managing the school or acting individually.
