Parent, Teacher, SBFC Communication Team

PARENT,

In order to minimize the gap between parents, children, teachers, schools and communities we have to learn more:

1. What causes this mismatched communication and competition?

2. What can parents, teachers, principals, communities and governments do to bridge this gap?

3. What are the ways to understand and overcome the discontinuity between home and school?

4. What are the unique characteristics of parental involvement in schools in different cultures?
