The Qridi education program, created in Finland, is a tool for promoting teacher cooperation with school parents that saves teachers’ time in communicating with their parents. The program is based on a teacher’s planned and supervised training process, through regular school evaluations, students’ self-assessments, and learning to observe the work of another classmate, which is also available to parents, and through continued training at home, parents can continue the school teaching process.

Methods used for the study are literature analysis using the SALSA method as data analysis method, survey for teachers and survey for parents as data acquisition method, and data analysis with descriptive data analysis method.
