Aims and scope
International Journal about Parents in Education (IJPE) strives to promote awareness and understanding of issues affecting school-parents relationships and parental involvement in educational contexts. The term "parents in education" is intended to include both the relationship of parents to school systems and the contributions which parents and families make to their child's learning outside school. ERNAPE is an association of networks organised by areas. Each network is autonomous. In October 1993, with financial support from the European Commission, a group of researchers working in the field of parents in education in different parts of Europe met in Glasgow to discuss how to increase contact across Europe, to exchange knowledge of research developments in Europe and to stimulate research about parents in education at all levels, including intercultural European research. Since 2007 IJPE adds to the ERNAPE network aims. The journal is published annually.
