He said the PTA is like a boat where there is a captain and the others are the crew members. The boat can’t sail smoothly if the captain is not directing properly. It is the same as the roles of the PTA to the school where officers will support morally and financially for the success of Guindaruhan National High School. The crew members are the teachers and parents who also obey orders of the captain and work together as one “happy family.”

Finally, good governance results in productivity not only on the promotion and highest percentage of the MPS but also on the success of the school and students’ academic progress and competence.
