Abstract
The study explores experiences, perceptions and perspectives of children regarding community schooling involvement. Child-friendly methods like draw-and-talk were used to capture children’s voices. Children revealed the positive and negative contribution of community to their schooling. We argue that school partnership with communities would be effective strategy to enhance psychological trust.
