Abstract
In this paper we focus on the role of some factors of quality co-operation between the school and the home, particularly on the views of parents, teachers and counselling workers on the quality of their mutual co-operation. The empirical research was carried out on a representative sample of primary school teachers together with primary and secondary school counsellors and parents of children who attended the third, fifth/sixth and ninth primary school grades in Slovenia. One of the main findings is that teachers, counselling workers and parents are aware of the importance of their mutual co-operation. In general, most schools exhibit great readiness and a favourable atmosphere for co-operating with parents. Parents also experience a high level of the school’s or teachers’ readiness to co- operate with them. However, at the same time, the data warns that co-operation could be improved in many cases. It is up to schools, teachers and counsellors to find what to improve and how.
