Abstract

Parent–school partnership is a relatively recent event in South Korea. This new pattern of partnership should be understood in the socioeconomic and sociopolitical context of the educational reform of South Korea because it came from the whole idea of educational reform of administration and management system toward more decentralized school-based management. There are mixed evaluations about how much the school council contributes to autonomous school-based management system by promoting parent and community participation. But, it is fair to say that there is a tendency that partnership between family and school through school councils has strengthened although there are still many issues awaiting to be solved at the same time. This chapter presents the background, roles, and characteristics of the school council and examines its possibilities and limits in parent–school partnership development.
