The legislative framework concerning family involvement in children's education

Summary/Abstract: In order to understand the factors that significantly influence the quality of the school and family partnership, we have consulted some of the most important national and international legislative documents concerning the families’ attributions in the process of raising and educating the children. We have discovered that each of these documents promotes the achievement of children's rights and values such as solidarity, tolerance, equal opportunities between boys and girls, mutual respect, positive attitudes, free access to compulsory education, permanent support for the families. The main responsibility of the parents is to provide the best living and educational conditions and to ensure the health of children. Each parent should offer financial, affective, cognitive and social support for their children. The legislative framework of Romania is in accordance with the international legislation and recommendations. The superior interest of the child should guide the actions of all the educational actors. Parents have the obligation to act as real partners of educational institutions and should be actively involved in their children's education. Teachers and family members have the responsibility to join their forces in order to maintain a high-quality cooperation and a constant and bidirectional communication. The legislation of Romania had a positive evolution and encourages the parents' participation in the process of decision making and in school life.
