geography, etc. A community is a group of people in which members of communities are formally or informally are
organized to play an important role and take a keen interest to address the problems and sort out the solution of that
problem to achieve the goals associated with problems. The community has a degree of self-governance and
responsibility. Communities may be heterogeneous, homogeneous, united; besides this, some communities are
conflictive, and some are governed and managed by leaders selected republicans who act relatively self-governing from
other levels of government

responsibilities of the government, parents, and community. As Said (2013) mentioned that education is not an act of
isolation, but it is a movement in collaboration. Without community engrossment in the education process or school
activities will not attain their goal; without education, society cannot reflect on betterment. Through community
engrossment in the education process, the worth of education activities in schools can be developed and enhanced.
Secondary education is the structure to provide a good quality of education in adult life. Besides this, in education
