Community is a part of the society and education is the counterpart of both. ... School is
also defined as a subsystem of the larger system of the society. It has to functionally
coordinate with its immediate environment, the community in which it is situated.
What is School?
School is a training centre helps develop pupils into efficient social being and to
trainthem to further educate the backwardmembers of their society.The school is a
specialenvironment where a certain quality of life types of activities and occupations are
provided with
the object of securing child‟s development along desirable lines (Mishra, 2007).
School is anopen system and a social organization which thrives on the effective
interrelationship within itand with its relevant communities(Nwankwo, Nwokafor,
Ogunsanwo&Ighalo, 1985).Schoolinteracts with people of the community and is linked with
the larger society.The function of thetraditional school was to transmit the social heritage of
the community. Its role was too academicin nature. The modern sociological view of
education lay down that school constantly draw uponsocial life and activities for its subject
matter

What is Community?
Community according to Jones and George (2006) refers to physical location like
townsor cities or to social milieus like ethnic neighbourhoods in which an organization is
located. A

3community provides an organization with the physical and social infrastructure that allows it
tooperate; it utilities and labour force; the homes in which its managers and employees live;
other organization such as hospital, town services, carriers and theatres that service their
needs and soon. The above definition clearly describes school community. The school
community physicallocations are the towns or cities in which it is located. The schools source
their physical andsocial infrastructure from its communities. To Hornby (2000), community
refers to "a group of people of the same religion, race, occupation, etc or with shared
interest"

7.1 Relationship between School and Community


The processes of social interaction are the bases for creating social
relationship.According to Calhoun, Light and Keller (1998) social relationship is relatively
enduring patternsof interaction between two or more people. Most people have many social
relationships, fromcasual acquaintance to intimate friendships and close family bond.School
community relationship is a two-way symbiotic arrangement through which theschool and
the community co-operate with each other for the realization of goals of thecommunity and
vice versa. It is the degree of understanding and goodwill, which exists betweenthe school
and the community (Okorie, Ememe&Egu 2009).School as an open system and asocial
organization thrives on the effective interrelationship within it and with its
relevantcommunities. What happens in a school affects the community, and what happens in
the
4community affects school (Nwankwo, Nwokafor, Ogunsanwo&Ighalo, 1985). This
means thatcommunity builds its schools and the schools build their community (Sidhu, 2007).
Therefore,school community interdependence is unbreakable. There is a reciprocal
relationship. The twoworks for one another and the two have direct impact on one another. If
schools are expected to
be successful in their primary mission of educating the community‟s children, they need to
know
a great deal about the community and the families from which the children come. This
meansthat the school cannot exist in isolation but in co-operation with the community in
which it findsitself (Ihebereme, 2008).The school has to arrange for the students opportunities
to participate in social services,health campaigns, development plans, and other public
activities. The divorce between schooland community is likely to make teaching artificial.
This school is not a place where only thechildren are educated by the whole community.
The school building, furniture, equipment,human resources, etc. are public property.
They should be unhesitatingly placed at the disposalof the community after school hours. The
school teachers should also come forward and placetheir knowledge and experience at the
disposal of community and assume the role of guides andleaders of the social group. The
school library and play grounds can especially be of significantservice to the community
(Ihebereme, 2008). Effective school community relationship raisesstudent persistence and
achievement (Eccles& Harold, 1996; Lareau, 1996; Nieto, 2004). Nieto(2004) contends that
student achievement is positively associated with parent involvement inschool and that,
school which encourage high levels of parent involvement outperform their counterparts
where there are lower levels of involvement 22serving in advisory committee, acting as
volunteers in library, laboratory, and clinic for theschool, kitchen, etc.

7.2 Effect s of School on Community


Although schools have their own uniqueness and similarities, there are specific ways
by which school administrators can make a school very special in the community. To be
effective, school administrator should have a well-developed school community relationship
plans. according to Pawlas(2005)are as follows:

Establish and maintain public confidence in the school. Activities Such as Coffee
Parties at predetermined times can be used. At these meetings, members of the
local community areencouraged to give their opinions regarding the school and specific
educational issues.This can provide an opportunity to establish public confidence4.

Secure community support for the school and its programme. Invite the community
