Parent Leadership and School Partnership Course Overview

How can Kenyan parents effectively lead and partner with schools to support family academic success? The Parent Leadership, School Partnership & Family Success course provides Kenyan parents with structured strategies to collaborate with teachers, participate in school governance (PTA/BOM), and foster an encouraging learning environment at home under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). Research suggests that when families and school leaders work as active partners, learners demonstrate higher engagement and study consistency.

### Why Parent Leadership Matters in Kenya's CBC Era

In Kenya's modern education system, parental involvement has evolved beyond paying school fees and attending end-of-term meetings. Under CBC, continuous assessment and skill development require ongoing collaboration between caregivers and educators. Whether your child is in primary school, Junior Secondary School (JSS), or senior secondary, understanding school structures empowers you to advocate constructively for your child's educational needs.
