Partnership Development in the Pacific
|
School-home-community partnerships have been established in all Pacific districts and schools. The emphasis on partnerships has been ongoing since 1994–95 school year, through the five tier framework for partnerships. These tiers focused on a pyramid of partnerships to include a greater participation of parents in the formal education of their children. |
