Community Participation in School Governance: An African Comparative Perspective,

This study examines community participation in school governance across Egypt, focusing on educational policy implementation. A comparative analysis was conducted using secondary data from government reports and academic studies. The study employed a cross-sectional design for each country, focusing on schools with varying levels of community engagement. Community participation varied significantly across regions, with urban areas showing higher levels of involvement (72%) compared to rural areas (45%). The findings suggest that increased community engagement correlates with better educational performance and resource management. Governments should promote inclusive school governance structures to enhance accountability and efficiency in education delivery.
