The partnership between parents and teachers is essential for the well-being of the child. Since the school is an educational institution, in addition to educating the child, it also raises him. The child's parents need to help teachers in his education. For education to be better and education as successful as possible, cooperation and partnership between parents and teachers are needed. The research aims to determine courses in teacher education that deal with the topic of partnership and the competence of future teachers to establish and maintain partnerships with parents. The research shows the reasons why five-year-old students will establish a partnership with parents, how they will do so, the competencies that an educator needs to develop to establish a partnership with parents, their expectations of parents involvement in activities, and satisfaction with their education during a study in the field of establishing a partnership with parents. 83 fifth-year students of Teacher Education in Osijek, Slavonski Brod, Zagreb, Pula, and Rijeka participated in the research. The students who took part in completing the survey self-assessed that they did not feel competent to establish a partnership with parents and that much more attention needed to be paid to this area during their studies. By analyzing the content, we found that the courses at the Teachers 'Studies in Osijek, Zagreb, Rijeka, Pula and Slavonski Brod differ in the number and content of courses, ie that the Teachers' Studies in Osijek and Slavonski Brod have the most courses on partnership.
