Abstract

Family and School: Two Worlds Aimed at Working TogetherSalto de línea Salto de línea This report provides a general overview of the major problems encountered in families relative to education. Firstly, and as a contextualizing framework, the author examines those changes having an effect on family composition and which affect, in turn, its involvement in the type of education provided at school. Secondly, the different theoretical and practical approaches on family-community relationships (integration of community services, family involvement, ways of establishing relationships) are both analysed and described. Lastly, and within a communitarian perspective, the author raises a proposal aimed at developing the so-called «social capital» by means of establishing social networks and relationships with the community itself.
