Parental Involvement in Children's Education (PICE)
Learning Partnerships has undertaken a major piece of research to gauge the opinion of parents on their child's and their own learning. More than 60 families agreed to take part in the study. The aim was to identify barriers that prevented families getting involved in their child's learning and raise awareness of the importance of parents in the learning process.
The full PICE report is available for a price of £8.95 (inc p&p). Please contact: lisa@learningpartnerships.org.uk
