Partnerships between the community, families, and schools aid in raising academic standards.
- When communities, families, and schools collaborate, students:
-
receive better grades;
attend classes more frequently;
continue to study;
and have higher motivation. - Students of all ages, from all backgrounds, and of every colour and nationality can agree with this. For students to succeed in school, a range of supports covering the range of social, health, and academic requirements may be required. High-quality schools have a track record of collaborating with families, the community, and other organizations to enhance student outcomes across the board.
