In the latest Leading Your International School podcast, Barry Cooper and Euan MacLean discuss a critical issue in education: the growing divide between schools and parent communities. Euan shares insights from his experience and his new social enterprise, &Parents, focusing on how stronger parent-school partnerships can lead to improved student outcomes – both academically and holistically.

"When schools and parent communities work better together, I think that can really only be for the overall benefit of the students", said Euan.
