摘要:Are parents active partners in the educational process? Do they participatein daily school life? Are they asked to make decisions that determinethe quality of education and the quality of educational outcomes? As a parentor as a person involved in education in any of SEE countries, you couldprobably guess the answers to these questions, and it is likely that you havea strong sense of their importance. The monograph “Parent Participation inthe Life of Schools in South East Europe,” recently published by the Centre forEducational Policy, reports systematic findings of a three-year research projectconducted in ten SEE countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria,Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania and Serbia. Thisresearch was conducted on regional and national levels. Although dealing witha relatively unexplored issue, the authors, Tünde Kovacs-Cerovic, Vlasta Vizek-Vidovic and Steve Powell, based their research conceptually on the followingsuppositions: parent participation in education contributes to its quality andequity; the role of the parent in real school life is underestimated; and the parent’srole in education is an underexplored area, at least with regard to SEEcountries.
