Programmes for parents of secondary school children.

Next autumn many children will become members of a larger community. What lies ahead for them and their parents?
Modern educationists agree that the child who gets the greatest help from his parents is the one who makes the fullest use of his educational opportunities.
In these programmes parents are given an insight into how they can help their child when he starts secondary school and at the important moment at the end of his third year when he decides on some degree of specialisation in preparation for his future career. Other programmes will show a mixed panel of parents and teachers discussing how they can co-operate more; how they can help the child to organise his time and his homework; and talk about the friendships he makes.
Introduced by John Norman.
Repeated on Monday, 7.0 p.m. (BBC-2)
