Despite the fact that lately there has been an imperative demand for change and modernisation of Greek education and that Greek school should be open to society and its developments, the existing institutional and theoretical framework does not help the headmaster promote communication between the school and all types of the pupils’ parents. On the other hand, there is no research regarding the role of the headmaster in such communication. The results of the survey carried out with the majority of primary education headmasters in the Cyclades Islands, Greece, indicate clearly the limits and framework of communication and cooperation with the pupils’ families that headmasters arc now seeking. They also indicate that the overall service time of the headmaster and the service time of the headmaster in the same school are factors that substantially differentiate the headmaster's attitude towards the parents. Finally, the results suggest that such communication is a multidimensional procedure, which requires flexibility and knowledge on the part of the headmaster, as well as the application of various practices and communication strategies.
