IMPORTANCE OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS INTERRELATIONSHIP IN ACHIEVING GOALS OF EDUCATION

When we think about the education process, we find that there has been a radical change in the present education process. In ancient times, all the work of imparting education was on ‘Gurukuls' which were located at a sufficient distance from the city and the common citizens, where according to the ‘Guru Shishya Parampara', the Guru imparted knowledge to his disciples. No one interfered in his work in any way. But as the civilization progressed, schools were set up in the villages to ensure that education is accessible to all the students, and they can meet the changing demands of the society. The horizons of education system kept expanding not only for students but also for teachers. Learned teachers from the local region were also involved in teaching and learning. The school buildings took the place of the ‘ashrams', education was categorised in many levels such as primary, secondary, higher, technical, vocational and medical education etc. In the present modern times, this division expanded even more and new concepts came in education, due to which the systems of education also changed a lot and now the need was felt that due cooperation of everyone should be taken in education and gain its maximum benefits. As education is a tripolar process in which the three poles are 1. the teacher, 2. the student and 3. the society. We cannot neglect the contribution of any one pole in the entire process of education. It is true that formal education is provided by the teachers in the school and most of the time the student depends on the teacher for the purpose of study, but it is seen that if we want the child to lead a successful life, the collaboration of the teachers with the parents is must. School has been considered as a miniature form of society, where the socialization of the child begins, so the stronger the relationship between the school, society, and the family, the more positive the development of the child will be. The present paper deals with the highlighting the role of parents and teachers' collaboration for the all-round development of students and how it is necessary for education for all. It also deals with the hurdles in this way and ways to overcome these.
