This paper tackles the ever present issue of cooperation between family and school. Such cooperation is necessary if the school is to educate (i.e. facilitate the learning of moral values). Furthermore, experience is a required ingredient in the task of educating. The family is, therefore, a vital element of education since it occupies a key position in the experience of moral values. The authors advocate a change in the organizational structure of schools that will enable the family to participate actively in the running of the school and to be jointly responsible for the centre’s educational project.  Pedro Ortega Ruiz, Ramón Mínguez Vallejos y María A.
