Abstract
This study aims to explore on how PTA members’ respond to a changing educational policy. Data were collected through interviews with selected PTA members from two secondary schools in Kedah, Malaysia. In total, six participants were involved in this qualitative study. Data analysis was carried out through analytic categories based on hermeneutics philosophy. The findings indicate that the PTA members believed that implementation of a new educational policy is only related to school, it was also believed that some challenges emerged at school as a result of the implementation of the policy and they provide ways that can assist the school to implement the new educational policy. The findings are essential to the Ministry of Education in involving parent in the implementation of a policy as it was stated that “one of the targets of the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013–2025 is to engage every PTA to provide input on how the school can make the national curriculum more relevant to the needs of the local community” (Ministry of Education 2012).
