Description
Summary:<p>This paper presents a summary of the results of a Project carried out by the author on behalf of the Catalan Federation of Parents’ Associations (FaPaC), where we identify PAs as a specific and privileged case of family-school relations. The Project intended to assess the potential role Pas could play as intermediary organizations enhancing social integration and analyze the degree of the relation between the social problem constructed – migrant families’ lack of participation as an explanation for the lower school performance of their children – and the institutional projects that should be expected in the Catalan context among PAs.</p>
