I have heard that the School Advisor System began in April 2000. What kind of system is this? And how, through this system, are schools likely to change?

The School Advisor system is one whereby the head teacher can ask for opinions and receive advice from parents/guardians and people in the locality of the school.

Through this system, schools more open to the community can be promoted, and school operations can reflect the opinions of these communities, resulting in strengthened ties between school and the community.
