About the book

Despite the considerable improvements in national legislations on antidiscrimination and democratic school governance, disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes in SEE countries continue to exist. The Advancing Education Quality and Inclusion initiative was created to address these persistent disparities. The aforementioned representatives of the all 10 SEE countries have identified insufficient and inadequate involvement of the parents in school governance as a common issue affecting the equality of access to high-quality education. The gap between legislations and policies on parents’ involvement in school governance and their implementation raises concerns about the extent to which the equitable provision of education can be achieved in the schools in the newly developed education systems in the SEE region.
