PARENTS-SCHOOL-STUDENTS-FORUM (P2SF) AS INTERVENTION MODEL ON CHILD FRIENDLY EDUCATION

Abstract

Child friendly school in practice requires partnership with parents and family by enabling and engaging participation of them to provide effective learning environments in promoting 3Ps (provision, protection, and participation)on child rights. So far, the communication between parents and school was limited on the administrative substances, neglecting the process and the content of education itself. This paper presents P2SF as an intervention model on child friendly education. It is based on the Research and Development (R&D) of an intervention model implemented at two models of child friendly school, SD Secang I and SMP Tempuran I, Magelang Regency. The P2SF accommodates a reciprocated communication among the primary agents of education in order to synergize the three parties in implementing child friendly education. This model is created in the form of handy-communication book to establish mechanisms for meaningful participation.
