1. 本研究的目的是分析法国家长协会在学校教育和家长教育方面的活动，特别是在课程和教学的改进、学校的治理、学校与学生家庭之间的良好关系以及对家庭的援助方面。有五大家长协会联合会，有250万会员。四个联合会（FCPE， PEEP， FNAPE， UNAAPE）由公立学校的学生家长组成，一个联合会（UNAPEL）由私立学校的家长组成。这些协会有自己的教育政策和政治倾向，他们出版新闻信件，为家长提供许多信息和建议，并起到游说作用。家长协会的代表是许多国家和地方教育委员会的成员，而且是学校委员会的成员。作为这项研究的结果，我们发表了几篇研究文章并阅读了论文。除此之外，我们还翻译出版了两本书；“你所有的权利，你所有的义务（家长指南）”，“法国的教育组织和管理”。我们相信这一研究对教育和学校改革的研究是有帮助的；让家长参与学校治理，学校对家长和居民开放。

1. The aim of this research is the analysis of the activities of parents' associations in France that work on the education in schools and education for parents, especially, for the improvement on curriculum and teaching, the governance of school, good relation between schools and pupils' families, and assistance to families.2. There are five big federations of parents' associations that have 2,5 million members. Four federations (FCPE, PEEP, FNAPE, UNAAPE) are composed of public school pupils' parents, and one (UNAPEL) is for parents in private schools. These associations have their own educational policies and political tendencies, and they publish news letters, give many informations and advices for parents and act as lobby. The representatives of parents' associations are the members of many educational councils in national and local level, moreover in schools councils.3. As the result of this research, we published several research articles and read the paper. Besides these, we translated and published two books; "All your rights, all your duties (Guidebook for parents)", "Educational organisation and administration in France".We are sure that this research is helpful in the study of education and school reforms; involving the parents in school governance and schools' openness to parents and inhabitants.
