Family, school, and community engagement varies by country and context yet partnerships between families and schools are critical to building a shared vision of education everywhere. Families and communities are critical to strengthening and transforming education systems, and partnering with learning institutions to support student learning, development, and wellbeing.
The Center for Universal Education co-led the writing and development of a set of country policy briefs with collaborating civil society and government institutions on different education systems contexts. These policy briefs take the research conducted in the large international study—the Six Global Lessons on How Family, School, and Community Engagement can Transform Education (2024) —and tailor the findings and recommendations to specific countries and regions. The policy briefs provide specific strategies and recommendations for building stronger partnerships and relational trust in each context.

Building partnerships where families, schools, and communities stand together in Sierra Leone. Engaging and partnering with families is a central pillar of the Government of Sierra Leone’s efforts to improve student and school outcomes in their current education policies, frameworks, and plans. The recommendations support government institutions and civil society organizations in expanding the roles and responsibilities of families from a solely accountability role, to one where families are essential partners in supporting learning at home and building deep and equitable participation across communities.
