  This study examines the barriers of parental involvement in school life through a sample of a rural settlement in Szeklerland, using the six areas of parental involvement discussed by Epstein (1987). In the study area, the actual process of parental involvement in the Epsteinian sense is in its initial stages. Although behaviours that can be categorised as school-parent cooperation are emerging, conscious parent-school cooperation is not yet characteristic.

  Those development approaches that support social inclusion, exploitation of endogenous
  resources and community development may be an alternative, and can offer new opportunities
  for the economically and socially disadvantaged rural areas and for peripheral settlements
  that have missed the mainstream of development. The new rural paradigm, and the related
  regional development approaches, such as marketing-oriented settlement development, point to
  a new community-based trend, where places, local communities get a more important role, the
  function of local management changes and endogenous factors become the main resource. The
  communication activity and positioning practice becomes more important.
