THE ROLE OF PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN EDUCATION

Abstract

This study seeks to answer the question, "How does parental involvement affect students' academic performance?" by examining three critical aspects: the regularity of home-school contact, the amount of parental help with homework, and student participation in extracurricular activities. The results show that when there is open and regular communication between the school and the family, it helps students succeed because it creates a network of mutual support. While encouraging children to ask for help with their schoolwork can help them retain more of what they've learned, overly involved parents can stifle their children's independence. Students that are actively involved in extracurricular activities tend to have more motivation, better attendance, and better grades. Working parents may find it difficult to get involved because of cultural differences and job schedules. To ensure broad participation, it is necessary to address these difficulties through inclusive and adaptive techniques. Strong home-school connections are critical for maximizing student performance and well-being, according to the study, which also highlights the significance of a balanced and inclusive approach to parental involvement. In order to overcome obstacles to participation and promote meaningful parental engagement, schools and educators can adopt measures.
