there

reasons
 
for
 
develop

ing
 
and
 
establishing
 
a
 
partnership
 
between
 
school,
 
family
 
and
 
community. The
 
main
 
reason
 
for
 
such
 
a
 
partnership
 
is
 
to
 
aid
 
students
 
in
 
succeeding
 
at
 
school. Other
 
reasonsinclude

ers
 
in
 
the
 
school
 
and
 
the
 
community,
 
and
 
assisting
 
teachers
 
with
 
their

these
 
reasons
 
emphasise
 
the
 
importance
 
of
 
parents
 
playing
 
an
 
active
 
role

childrens’
 
education

Educators
 
and
 
parents
 
play
 
major
 
roles
 
in
 
the
 
educational
 
success
 
of
 
students. Students
 
need
 
a
 
positive
 
learning
 
experience
 
to
 
succeed
 
in
 
school: one
 
providing
 
support,
 
motivation,
 
and
 
quality
 
instruction. With
