About the Book

In most schools, the principals have the greatest influence on school-based governance structures. As a result, they have the authority and responsibility to provide an inclusive and fair environment for all children to learn in. In this unprecedented 2008 Cross-National Survey of Principals in South East Europe (SEE), principals were surveyed and interviewed thoroughly in order to obtain insights into the interaction schools have with the parents of students across this region. This study marks an important step for the Advancing Educational Inclusion and Quality of South East Europe initiative, which is funded by the Education Support Program of the Open Society Institute and jointly implemented with CEPS (University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Education), as it reveals the prevailing thoughts and practices of this region’s school leaders with evidence-based research.
