Active PTA- Amazing benefits
What Is a PTA?
PTA stands for Parent Teacher Association, a
school-based organization with a mission to make the school a better place for
children to learn. Parents of students work together with teachers to volunteer
in classes, raise money for school supplies, and generally support the school's
efforts. PTA members are parent volunteers, and while some schools have large
PTAs with officers, a bookkeeper, and an operating budget, other schools have
effective PTAs consisting of only a few motivated parents.
The Purpose of PTA is
to: Promote the welfare of the children in home, school and
community. Secure adequate laws for the care and protection of our children.
Establish a closer relationship between the home and school so
that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of the
children.
PTAs are associations of parents and
family based in the school, whose aim is to bring into closer relationship the
home and the school for the benefit of the children. These groups form a link
between the school, management, education department and the wider community. The
child is at the centre of everything parents and teachers do. Usually our
schools lack an active PTA which is not in the interest of the school and the
students.
The role of the Board is to GOVERN
the school. The role of the Principal, Vice-Principal, Supervisors etc. is to
MANAGE the school. The role of the PTA, parents, family, and community is to
support these by being involved in the school. In best practice, PTA, Board,
and Staff communicate closely and regularly so that all sectors of the school
community are working effectively towards achieving common goals. If everyone
is pulling in the same direction, rather than being at odds with each other, a
lot more can be achieved.
Active PTA…a boon to the school
An active PTA can improve school
climate, which can lead to more learning. Students perform better at school
where their parents are involved. The visible presence of the parents around
the school can also make those buildings safer and more orderly. The PTA’s
nationwide network provides parents with the forum and tools to collectively
influence the decisions that affect children at their schools School
Management, Principal, Vice-Principal and Supervisors should encourage and help
in the making of a PTA.
So it’s the duty of each and every
parent to form a strong network and constitute a strong PTA.
