Promoting Child Right to Education through Parental Education

This article examines the main factors that are associated with the successful implementation of children rights to education. The research provides a range of information collected at the end of one parent education program, implemented by HoltIS and funded by UNICEF Romania, in several rural schools with high dropout rate. The parental education makes the parents sensitive about their obligation to respect the child right to education, create a more positive school ethos for learning, mutual respect, and good social relations. The emerging themes from the qualitative research were: the change of parents' attitude related to school and to children right to education and the mechanisms for involving parents in schools activities after the participation in parent education programme. The final result is observable through the increasing of school participation of children and the improvement of their school results.
