Abstract

The study aimed at identifying the reality and obstacles of the partnership between the family and the school in Jordan (Qualitative Study). The study adopted the qualitative approach based on interviews with the school principals and parents participating in the Parents’ Councils in Jordan, a total of 30 interviews have been made for this study- 9 interviews with the school principals and 21 others with parents. The study resulted on a moderate level of partnership between the family and the school in Jordan and this is for both school administrators and parents, however and as for the obstacles of partnership between the family and the school, the result was a bit different; the school administrators believe that the external obstacle originating from the families and the ministry are high while the parents pointed to the same result for the internal obstacle represented by their preoccupation, working conditions and the lack of confidence that they were real partners with the school. Based on the results of the study, many recommendations were made, including the necessity of activating Parents’ Councils to be an effective tool for activating the partnership between the family and the school in Jordan.Â
