The Concept of a School
School has been defined in various
ways. It can be said that school is
any organized educational
institution where knowledge is
transmitted from the teachers to
the learners.

Definition of School
Ottaway & Smith (1980) defined school
as a social unit formally established by
members of the society for the purpose
of developing the younger members of
their society.

Olaniyi (2000) defined it as a formal
agency of education established by
member of the macro-
community/society to mould the
habits interests, attitudes and feelings
of children and transmit the societal
norms, culture, value and tradition
from one generation to another.

The Concept of a Community
Towns, cities, states and even the country
comprise different communities.
Community however can be said to
comprise groups of people living in a
particular place who share the same
historical background, with common
economic, cultural and social values.

Definition of Community
Mussazi (1982) defined communit y as a
group of people living in the same place,
with common value, history, bound to
gether by multiple economic, social,
religious, and kingship-ties.

To Bray (1987), community is a group of
people who share the same social,
economic and cultural interests. From all
the above, community comprises people
who live together in a community and
interact with one another, share the same
interest and ideology.

It can also be said that community is a
group of people living together in one place
having common religion, race and
similarity of attitudes or interests.

Schools - Community
Relationships
School- community relationship is
cordial and mutual interactions that
exist between the school and the
community where the school is
situated.

Schools - Community Relationships
Bortner (1972) defined school-community
relationship as planned activities and a way
through which the school seek to learn about
the community and interpret, when need be,
the purpose, programme, problems and needs
of the school; and involve the community in
the planning, evaluating and management of
school policies and progress.

School - community relationship is a two–
way interaction that exists between the
school and the community. The school can
not exist in isolation or independent of the
community because the community
provides and prepares the input into the
school system.

Both the school and the community are
interdependent and interrelated. The
community prepares the input (i.e.
students) needed by the school for survival,
the output from the school (i.e. graduates)
also comes back to the community and
assists in various capacities.

For the school - community relationship to
be peaceful, healthy, mutual, cordial, worth
while and productive; the school and the
community must be willing to assist each
other to achieve their respective set goals
in conducive and loving atmosphere, where
there is mutual trust, support and
cooperation.

The Role of School Head i n School -
Community Relationship
To achieve the set goals for schools, healthy
relationship is a must between the school and the
community. Therefore, the school head needs to
ensure that there is love, understanding, trust,
mutual trust between the school and the
community. To ensure this, the school head need
to take the following measures:

The Role of School Head i n School -
1. They should establish a functional PTA. The
head should make the PTA a functional one rather
than making it an income generating association
alone. The members be allowed to have a
say/contribution in the running of the school.

The Role of School Head in School -
2. They should be accessible. The school head
must make himself accessible to members of the
community such as the PTA chairman or other
executive, the parent, the chiefs, religious leaders
and members of old student association and other
visitors that may visit the school occasionally
from the community.

3. They should make himself available. The school
head must make him/herself available to the
members of community, the parents, PTA
executives, old student’s group, chiefs and
religions leaders. He should not be the type that
administer in absence or have a lot of bureaucratic
procedures before he can be seen by members of
the community.

4. They should avoid realistic politics in the
community: the school head and staff members should
avoid taking part in the political activities in the
community to avoid bad blood between the school and
the community, the school head should ensure that
he/she do not represent any political party within the
school to achieve some political goals. This will enable
the school head to be neural on all issues at all time.
