Abstract: Behind the Scenes is the first systematic study in Ireland to examine parental perceptions of the educational system and their satisfaction with the information they receive about their children's schooling. This book draws on a survey of, and in-depth interviews with, the parents of the cohort of young people involved in the Post-Primary Longitudinal Study, placing parents' accounts in the context of the perspectives of school personnel and young people themselves. This book provides unique insights into parents' involvement in their children's education and the information flow between school and home. It highlights important issues for policy, suggesting ways to support the parental role and thus enhance student choices and outcomes.
