Abstract
This study explores the application of James Coleman's Social Capital Theory within the context of participatory educational governance, focusing on the community-based program Brigada Eskwela in the Philippines. It examines how social relationships, trust, and norms embedded in community networks foster cooperative participation and collective responsibility in education. The paper highlights the role of participatory governance in promoting effective school management and enhancing educational outcomes. By analyzing Brigada Eskwela through the lens of social capital, the study underscores the practical implications for sustaining community-driven educational initiatives and improving governance structures in public education.
