How you would convince your local stakeholders including school management committee to make better links outside the school and any challenges that would be involved.

• Making better links outside the school
  • • More stakeholder involvement and thus buy-in and greater ownership of the school by the community
    • More support financially, socially and academically as the school can liaise with organizations such as DRETCHI, Rotary Clubs Police Youth Club, business men and women in the community, professionals (even among parents) who could contribute meaningfully to the school.
    • A system of volunteerism can be established where stakeholders are willing to give of their time and/resources to assist the school.
• Challenges
  • • Setting up an in-house team to ensure that stakeholder collaboration occurs
    • Getting parents to volunteer without expecting special favours to be granted to their children
    • Lack of resources that may cater to the individual needs of students with disabilities, thus limiting the number of stakeholder collaboration that can actually occur
