Where educational success fits into school-family partnerships in light of issues around academic success
This research attempted to learn more about how educational success fits into school family partnerships in light of the increasing challenges surrounding academic success. The results were taken from a corpus of participatory observations in a school, onsite observations of meetings between teaching staff, parents and children, as well as semi structured interviews with each participant. The study demonstrated that parent teacher meetings continue to focus on children’s academic success. Less attention is given to the success of education in a broader sense, which can aggravate social and educational inequalities and inhibit the well-being and personal development of all students.
