Research paints a persuasive picture of the interconnectedness between community, schools and family – all critical factors impacting student academic achievement and school-related behaviors. Indeed, building the capacity of the community to impact children’s ability to engage fully in their education is vital to strengthening teaching-and-learning. The application of this holistic perspective exponentially increases a child’s chance of succeeding and thriving.
