Role of School Climate in Educational Quality

School climate refers to the overall atmosphere and culture of a school, including the relationships between students, teachers, and parents, as well as the values, beliefs, and norms that shape the school community.

Research has shown that a positive school climate is associated with higher student achievement, improved teacher satisfaction, and increased parent involvement, all of which contribute to improved educational quality.
