AMPAS (asociaciones de madres y padres de alumnos) (Parents' Association) Explanation: My solution in cases like this is not to "mushroom" into UK or US English etc. but to keep the source text and provide an explanatory translation in brackets. If the term repeats further on in the text perhaps just use "AMPAS" on its own. |

parents' association Explanation: Parents'association is more commonly used than PTA in the UK these days. Both would be fine here, but I would favour the former. |

Reference: Article with different acronyms: PTA, PTO, PCC, PTG, HSA Reference information: I don't think you can use the acronym PTA unless the association is actually affiliated to the national PTA UK or PTA US. PTO would be a more general acronym. AMPAS also work with teachers, so PTO may work. If you don't need to use an acronym, then you could simply call it parents' association. I came across this article with different acronyms, hopefully you may find it useful: https://www.ptotoday.com/pto-today-articles/article/292-pto-... |

However, I am not sure why you say, "I don't think you can use the acronym PTA unless the association is actually affiliated to the national PTA UK or PTA US", because that is not quite accurate, and in my country for instance, PTAs are a part of our system, perhaps given the fact that our system of education is based on the UK model (perhaps?), but we do have a vibrant PTA system here, and all falling under the purview of a National Parent-Teachers Association comprised of many schools and split into zones/regions: https://www.iriefm.net/tag/national-parent-teacher-associati... Hope this helps. Stay safe! |
