Finally, the study has come up with the following recommendations that are believed to alleviate the problems faced and improve the practice. the finding has indicated that community participation was affected by a host of factors; like, Lack of commitment of the principal to work with community representative member, Lack of clearly defined role and responsibility of community representatives and parents Lack of competence of the principals on how to participate the community. However, the finding has indicated the existence of a few issues on which parents should focus to help their students learning. It was also observed that parents do not know the different subjects that students are attending and do not guide & help them in doing their home work, and assignments. Similarly parents do not help their children to understand the subject mastery of the lessons at home by hiring teachers. Therefore, the regional bureau, woreda education offices and principals should arrange training and experience sharing to parents and PTAs to enhance community participation. Moreover, the school principals have to take the lead in making the school climate favorable for participation.
