Councillors have agreed a revised parental engagement strategy subject to the launch of the Action Plan to Support Parental Involvement from the Scottish Government.
Councillor Yvonne McNeilly said: ‘It’s vital that parents take an active interest in their child’s education. Evidence shows that pupils behave better, achieve more and have better attendance when their parents are involved in their schooling.’ The strategy was dra ed with input from parent councils across Argyll and Bute.
Ensuring high quality partnership working through increased parental engagement and participation is one of the key objectives of the council’s education vision and strategy – Our Children, Their Future.
