Community Involvement and Nation Building- 1
EVALUATIVE CRITERIA
Community involvement should be a basic and all-pervasive
aspect of college/university education. This is true, most
especially in a developing country like the Philippines, where
community involvement may be equated to the total effort whereby
the college or university relates itself to national, regional and
local imperatives of development.
The college/university, in educating for citizenship, should
operate not just intra-muros, through academic and professional
programs and through the pursuit of the fundamental objective of
total human formation. It should include a necessary social
dimension and must also operate extra-muros or beyond its walls.
In so doing, it should maintain the emphasis on the academic, the
professional and the personal. A college/university that is
involved in the community actually enhances its dignity and
integrity, extends its identity beyond its walls and achieves a
larger goal. In the attainment of this goal, its two functions of
teaching and research have to pass a realistic test and reach a
culmination in the third function of service. Such service will
involve the institution's various units and will place its
physical resources and its professional and cultural expertise at
the service of the community - whether local, regional, national
or international.
The community involvement of the college/university today
should consist not only in building community awareness and
producing quality graduates in the professions or vocations
through which they will later serve their respective communities
competently and thereby experience personal upliftment. It should
also include directing and motivating its students, faculty and
staff toward community service and providing them with
opportunities for direct exposure to the community and for actual
service even while the students are still studying and,
specifically, as a part of their studies. Only in this way can
the college/university make its programs, structures and resources
consciously, deliberately and practically responsive to the needs
of a maturing Filipino youth that faces the assignment and the
challenge of nation building.
The school's commitment to community service and development
should be expressed in programs, projects and activities, which
are well planned, organized, implemented, evaluated and supported
by the school which should share its resources with the community.
