Parental Involvement in a Low-Fee Independent Secondary School in South Africa

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study explored the nature of parental involvement in a low-fee independent secondary school in South Africa. The relevant available research indicated that participatory input by parents should be seen as contribution to improving the efficiency of schools; this can be applied equally in a low-fee independent school. The minimal number of studies on parental involvement in low-fee independent schools stated that the contributing factor in explaining and influencing parental involvement was the socio-economic status of families. This book looks at the gap in research by using a qualitative methodology collecting data through a purposive sampling method. The framework was supported by Joyce Epstein's typology which informed data collection by referring to the different types of parental involvement: Basic Obligations of Parents; Basic Obligations of Schools; Parent Involvement in Schools; Parent Involvement in Governance and Advocacy; Collaboration and Exchanges. This book provides recommendations and results based on the efficiency and effectiveness of communication given the socio-economic backgrounds of families in a low-fee independent school in South Africa.

Autorenporträt

La Sra. Lala empezó a investigar después de dar clases en un centro de secundaria independiente de bajo coste que carecía de la participación de los padres. Cree que el catalizador del rendimiento de los alumnos es la participación de los padres. Como educadora apasionada, ahora entrena a los profesores para que sean los mejores líderes de la instrucción, capitanes de la participación de los padres y gurús de la cultura escolar.
