Educators and educational partnership

Abstract

Raising a child is a task of the family, educational institutions and society as a whole. Considering them separately, raising a
child is a private family matter in which parents have a dominant influence, an achievement that institution connects with its
engagement or a requirement of the general society. This paper discusses the need for a consciously thought out,
interconnected interaction of all educational factors directly and indirectly addressing the upbringing of a child, which
represents a shift from the strategy of occasional and fragmented efforts to improve the living conditions of children related
to only one of the aforementioned contexts. Furthermore, the paper considers the importance of institutional educators in
the process of raising awareness about the importance of joint, partnership, supportive and developmental interrelationship
of all educational factors and conditions for implementation of possibilities and seeking for concrete ways of joint action
oriented to well-being of every child.
