 SOCIOLOGICAL
BASIS OF SCHOOL-
COMMUNITY
PARTNERSHIP
• The functionalist theory states
that institutions must perform
their respective functions for
the stability of society. Other
institutions must come in, if
one institution fails to do the
part for the sake of society.
“It takes a village to educate a child”
The school cannot do it all.
The rearing and education
of the child is the primary
obligation of parents.
The School, the Church
and other social
institutions come in to
assist parents and
families to fulfill their
irreplaceable obligation.
