1. Course-Episode Relation to Rex’s Edukampyon principles and objectives:

This webinar course-episode is related on the Whole School Approach (WSA) which among other emphasizes that learning involves not only the school but the community as well. Realistically, such community and school are just but institutions in a bigger unit such as a local government unit whose affairs are managed and implemented by formal structure and led by those chosen by the residents therein. Moreso, this webinar course episode is focused on the “gatekeepers” of education in the community and the nation in general. It further illustrates the critical relationship among the stakeholders (duty bearers) and the gatekeepers of education in providing the best possible learning experience for our children and the youth.
