“…However, most parents were of the view that sometimes decisions are taken without consultation and that school authorities force certain school decisions on them unnecessarily. These findings corroborate with the assertion that attendance at SMC and PTA meetings lead to greater teacher satisfaction, improved parents' understanding of school issues, promotes more successful school programmes, good parent-teacher communication and improved school-community relations [15,10,11,16,12]. The rationale for the second specific purpose was to assess the problems confronting the participation of community groups in education delivery in the Abakrampa traditional area.…”

“…The indicated state of affairs cut across virtually most traditional areas in Ghana and other developing countries [15,10,16]. Consequently, despite various interventions by the Government of Ghana through sensitisation programmes, the problem of community participation in basic education appears to remain unabated in the Abakrampa traditional area [13].…”

The purpose of the study was to investigate the problems confronting community participation in the running of public basic schools at Abakrampa traditional area in Ghana. Specifically, the study assessed the nature of community participation in terms of cooperation between school authorities and community members, problems confronting the participation of community groups, and interventional strategies put forth by educational authorities to enhance community participation in education delivery. The study adopted the cross sectional survey design with mixed methods approach. The population comprised circuit supervisors, headteachers, teachers, parents and other stakeholders of the basic schools in the area. The sample was 150. The headteachers, teachers and circuit supervisors were selected purposively while parents and school management committees’ members were randomly selected. Questionnaire and interview guide were the instruments used. Frequency, percentage, and chi-square were used to analyse the quantitative data while the qualitative were analysed manually using open, axial and selective coding systems. The findings revealed the need to foster community-school participation in order to enhance educational delivery, management and development in public basic schools at the traditional area. In conclusion, one can say that community-school participation is necessary for orderly development of schools, aside from engendering trust, accountability and help to solve school problems so that academic work can flourish in an atmosphere of peace and orderliness. It is, therefore, recommended to school authorities to constantly communicate with community leaders and parents regarding the activities of the schools and also organise biannual fora and public hearings on the need for them to get actively involved in school matters. This will create room for them to appreciate the challenges the schools are facing and also for the school authorities to understand and appreciate the expectations and needs of the stakeholders regarding education delivery in the community.

This study aims to determine the impact of School Operational Assistance towards the challenges of community participation at Madrasah Tsanawiyah in Central Lombok. The case study in the form of qualitative research was used in this research. Subjects of the study include the madrasah principle, teachers, parents, committees and also students. The subject determination used purposive sampling. Data collection techniques and instruments are non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews and documentation. Data analysis was done by organizing, reading and making memos, describing, classifying, interpreting, presenting and visualizing the data. The results of study show that the communities/parents' involvements at school were limited on the routine involvements such as in the students' submission of the new academic year, distribution of report score, and farewell event. There is less involvement in improving the school qualities. Moreover, there are none involvements of the madrasas' committees and parents in designing the use of school operational assistance. Parents assume that the existence of operational assistance is sufficient for all school operational costs. The community involvements in funding the school fees and other contributions have been eliminated at schools. Thus, this situation makes the communities/parents' involvement decrease in developing the school quality.

“…Community participation and role in a region are different from another region since it is affected by each region's needs and sociocultural beliefs (Kusumaningrum et al, 2017). According to Anifah & Manulu (2019), one factor affecting the low interest in reading in the community is more time spent working and the high price of books.…”

Community library is an institution that aims to improve the culture of literacy. It is held by several member of the society. However, community library faces several problems that hinder development, including regeneration problems in the organizational management. The library is generally located in the house of a resident, so its accessibility is very dependent on the existence of the homeowner. The homeowner is also the manager of the library. Therefore, regeneration in management is very important. The lack of awareness of community members causes the problem in the regeneration. This paper discusses the problem on sustainability of the community library. The data was taken from one of the community library in Bantul Regency, namely Widuri Pandan. The results of observations and interviews indicate that: 1) collaboration is needed with various parties to be able to develop the community, not only through donations, but also collaboration activities; 2) it is necessary to design forms of routine activities that can stimulate public interest in literacy; 3) sustainability in the human resources development faces some obstacles, so that regeneration and formation of the literacy team need to be formed.
