ESTABLISHING PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES TO ENHANCE EDUCATIONAL QUALITY

Abstract

Establishing partnerships between Schools and Communities to Drive Educational Quality Development. Establishing partnerships between Schools and Communities is considered a crucial supporting factor in enhancing the quality of education in schools today. Establishing good ties between schools and communities contributes to the improvement of student quality, the development of educational facilities, and the enhancement of the school’s physical environment and infrastructure. This article presents the significance, components, approaches, and principles of building school-community relationships to promote educational quality. Key aspects include effective communication, community participation, information and knowledge exchange, building trust and mutual understanding, and providing mutual support. Schools apply three key elements in fostering school-community relationships: developing a collective vision between the school and the community (Shared Vision) collaborating and coordinating efforts with the community (Synergy) and transforming schools into knowledge hubs for the community (School-Based Activities). These elements help promote mutual understanding, reduce conflicts, and strengthen cooperation between schools and communities, ultimately leading to the sustainable development of educational quality.
