Schools are expected to prepare and educate the children for a changing and a dynamic world.
To make the society a better place there should be a closer cooperation and collaboration between school and
the community. However, now-e-days, it is noticed with great concern that most of the schools are run in
isolation. Ironically, parents and community think that it is only the job of teachers to educate students and
prepare them for life. This thinking has further created a distance between school and families. The purpose of
this study was to fill this gap. For this purpose the study investigated the relationship between community
participation and school community relation. Furthermore, the study examined the three important dimensions
of school community relations, that is, parenting, communication and volunteering. The participants were 300
government secondary school teachers who completed teacher questionnaire surveys. The data were
statistically computed to determine correlation between community participation and school community
relation utilizing ANOVA and Linear Regression Analysis. Results of the study indicated a highly positive
correlation between community participation and school community relations.
