The Parents

Parents were given a unique chance this month to prove they really care about their childrens' education. The national day organized by the Home and School Council on 10 October was widely‐publicized and well‐organized. Few parents will be able to claim they did not realise the day had been arranged. But I suspect that when the results of this country‐wide campaign to involve parents in the life of schools are examined — it will be clear that the majority were apathetic about the activities arranged for them.
