Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have some difficulty in the wording of section 25(1). It says that: " A parent of a student is entitled, and has the responsibility, to be informed of the progress, behaviour and attendance of a the student and to be involved in making decisions that significantly affect the education, health or safety of the student." I agree with that concept, but I think that the parents have to be involved in the progress of the student. That opportunity should be available to the parents, to be involved in whichever way they can be in the whole process. The wording, "has the responsibility, to be informed", I think, is the other way around. I think it's the responsibility of the educational institution to make sure that the parent is entitled to the student's progress in the educational system, rather than saying it's up to the parent. I don't really know what the wording here means, but it should be stronger than that.
I see an educational system as a holistic approach, and it shouldn't be separate from the everyday life of a whole family. The family has to be involved in the educational process. This section allows that to happen, but I think the wording should be a little more clear than what it is. I would like to ask the Minister if he understands what I am talking about and if there is any way to strengthen that section? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
