"The new Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act, passed in May 2006, is now in force, aiming to give parents a stronger voice and get more parents more involved in their child's education and school life.
The Act makes it a priority for education authorities and schools to support parents by giving them information on how to help their child's learning at home and provide them with opportunities to contribute to the life of the school."
What the press release omits to say is that the Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act aims to increase "parental involvement" by means of abolishing School Boards on which parents had a built-in majority. And you wonder why I am cynical...
