Abstract

Author(s):

Parental involvement plays a critical role in shaping the academic success of students. This study explores the various ways in which parental engagement influences academic achievement and offers practical strategies for fostering positive relationships between parents, schools, and students. Through a review of existing research and case studies, this paper highlights key factors such as communication, involvement in school activities, and support at home. The findings suggest that when parents are actively engaged in their children’s education, students show improved motivation, higher grades, and better social-emotional outcomes. Furthermore, the paper discusses challenges and barriers to parental involvement and proposes strategies for overcoming these obstacles to ensure that all students benefit from supportive parental involvement.
