School & Family: a constructive relationship that contributes to the prevention of school dropout

To prevent early school leaving and promote success schools need to develop strategies and activities that involve teachers, parents and pupils. A profitable relationship between school and family can lead to a common objective, namely how to help children learn, become good and responsible individuals and successful citizens.
