UNDERSTANDING THE
RELATIONS OF THE
SCHOOL AND
COMMUNITY
Schools are usually located within
a community-rural or urban
setting, meaning that the
community has a stake or
assumed stake in the life and
continuity of the school.

This implies that there is a need for

natural co-existence between the
school and its immediate and
large communities, making the
school a miniature community
within a larger community.
School-Community Relations

School-community relations
are the relationship between the
school and its external
environment, which includes the
host state and neighboring
states.
School-Community Relations

School-community relations
involve maintaining healthy
links between school personnel
and people in the community.
School-Community Relations

School and community must work

together to achieve educational
goals for all stakeholders,
including students, parents, the
labour market, and society.

enable a strong,
academic curriculum.

with students but also
engage families and
communities.

schools are governed at
the local level, and
decisions are made by
consulting with all
stakeholders, including
teachers and other school
staff.
