The Minister of Education and Reform of the Education System, Houda Babah, discussed with the National Federation of Associations of Parents of Pupils and Students ways to develop cooperation between the sector and the bodies representing families, particularly by activating parents' participation in school management committees.
The ministry seeks to strengthen the role of parents in school life and to involve their representatives more closely in monitoring and running educational institutions.
According to the ministry, this approach reflects a bet on making the family a partner in improving the learning environment, with the minister saying that the responsibility for education does not end at the school gates but starts at home, by instilling values of discipline, cleanliness and regular attendance, following pupils' academic progress and communicating regularly with teaching staff.
