Pathways to Parental Leadership

The rapidity of social change in Ireland is such that many schools are grappling with the particular challenges that are posed by new patterns of immigration. How these schools adapt to this changed social context has important implications for the transition of Irish society to a more multicultural state, which values and respects cultural and ethnic diversity in all its forms.  The proposed programme will consider how increased parental participation impacts on school policy, facilitating greater integration of migrant students.   It will consider existing programmes internationally and develop strategies for impacting on policies and procedures within the primary and secondary education system in Ireland.
