This study explored the community support to education during the pandemic using participatory qualitative research design, deemed as the most appropriate as it refers to all the techniques and approaches that involve the direct collaboration of researcher and those affected by the social issues being studied to bring about an action that will result in a positive change. Simply put, it is an umbrella term for research methods or frameworks that involves working with the research subjects to collect data, analyze it, and make recommendations. Based on the findings of the study, various issues and challenges were experienced by the stakeholders in rendering support in order to assure the continuity of education during the pandemic. The themes under challenges include financial constraints, limited social mobilization, health protocols that caused delays, limited resources and disparate opinions with other stakeholders. However, various best practices were identified which can be utilized by schools to strengthened school-community partnerships especially during crisis. Identified themes indicate that recognition, keeping the stakeholders updated and the expression of gratitude have vital role to encourage more support from the community. Additionally, this study proposes a sustainability plan which can be utilized to encourage more community support. It also provides insights and recommendations to strengthen school-community partnership to assure continuity of education in whatever circumstance but most especially during crisis.
