ABOUT

 

Who are we?
ENG (Education for the Next Generation) is a non-governmental organisation based in Athens that provides equal education opportunities by encouraging the parental involvement in the education process.
What are we doing?
We encourage parents to be more involved in their children’s education process and further development.
We aim to equip parents with parenting knowledge, helping them to be more engaged with their children.
We believe that, by supporting the parental involvement in the educational process, we can positively impact the children’s achievements and their learning outcomes.
We aim to address the lack of time with which parents are facing by offering flexible and accessible solutions.

Why are we doing this?

Although education is a shared responsibility among many different actors, we believe that we can’t talk about sustainable solutions without focusing on the crucial role of the parents, the childrens’ first teachers.

We consider that academic achievement is predicted less by the socioeconomic status and more by the parental involvement in the academic life of the children. We believe that equal education opportunities can only be provided if the opportunity gaps represented by the lack of parental involvement are addressed.

Research shows that parental involvement in the education process leads to improved grades, school attendance, homeworks and social skills, while also paving the way for postsecondary education. However, while the evidence is consistent, we believe that parental involvement is more often than not neglected by most of the educational programs that focus of children’s academic achievements.
