Learning and Teaching in Practice/Stakeholders/Who are they?


 * Stakeholder: A person or group that affects or is affected by an organisation's activities.

In an education context, stakeholders can be seen as those affecting or being affected by a specific course or programme. As shown in the diagram stakeholders can be external or internal to the organisation that is delivering the course or programme.



Although these same broad groups of stakeholders apply to all courses, individual stakeholders are specific to any given course.
