Bringing attention to the importance of establishing a strong partnership between parents and schools, Mrs. Aima shared her insights during the panel discussion “Are Parents and Educators Aligned on Student Learning?” at the North Educators’ Summit & Awards 2026, an initiative presented by EducationToday. Responding to a question about parental intervention when children receive lower-than-expected grades, she emphasised that effective collaboration begins with clearly communicating school expectations during the admission process.
She explained that schools should consider parents as partners and involve them in institutional activities and planning. Such participation helps parents understand the school’s functioning and encourages them to approach teachers with a collaborative mindset rather than immediately questioning academic decisions.
She also highlighted the importance of establishing appropriate communication channels, suggesting that parents should initially approach the class teacher, followed by the coordinator and, only when necessary, the principal. According to her, teachers must be empowered to address concerns independently while maintaining positive and constructive communication with parents.
Addressing the growing use of artificial intelligence in education, Mrs. Aima shared an example of her school’s project-based learning approach. Students are encouraged to research topics at home but complete and demonstrate their projects at school under teacher supervision. This allows educators to assess their actual understanding and individual contribution.
Her contribution highlighted the value of transparent communication, practical assessment, and meaningful parental participation in education.
