NEC Parental Engagement

We believe passionately in helping all of our students reach their full potential, which is why we have introduced the GEMS Parental Engagement Programme into all of our schools. This provides opportunities for parents to engage with their child’s learning and develop a better understanding of engagement strategies and their child’s learning needs.

NEC developed its own engagement programme to suit the particular needs of their local community. However, certain basics are expected from every NEC school. This includes:

Recognising the central role of parents in the teaching and learning and process;

• Informing parents of student study programmes in advance so they can offer support where necessary;
• Providing the tools, resources and guidance parents need to support their child’s learning;
• Receiving a minimum amount of face-to-face contact with teachers during the school year;
• The creation of a parents’ association to help the school spread best practices to all parents.
