The call for quality education has always been everybody’s dream. Teaching is a cooperative enterprise. There must be harmonious relations between parents and teachers. Teachers provide a lot of opportunities to the pupils for total self-development. Pupils should be exposed to many learning activities for their maximum knowledge. Learning is a multi-responsibility of teachers as well as parents. We cannot deny the fact that parents have a great role in the children’s education. No matter what the teacher does, without parents’ intervention, all would be done in vain. That is why school recognizes the importance of parent’s involvement in their children’s education. This is the main reason why there is a Parents-Teachers Association to let parents realize the value of involvement in children’s education that it is not solely responsibility of the school. Teachers and parents should work hand-in-hand with the school where their children are enrolled.
Parents play a great role in children’s education because learning started at home that is being strengthened in school, and when their children go home, parents should follow-up what is learned in school so that there is continuity of learning.
Parents have to support their children’s involvement in all activities in school. They have to guide and assist them in all their projects and assignments. Attendance in all school meetings and all other school activities help develop self- confidence.
