Parental involvement plays a critical role in a student’s academic success. Research consistently shows that when parents are actively engaged in their child's education, students tend to achieve higher grades, have better attendance, display improved behaviour, and are more likely to graduate and pursue higher education.

A. Key Ways Parents Influence Academic Success:

1. Support at Home: Helping with homework, providing a quiet study space, and encouraging reading can enhance learning.

2. Communication with Teachers: Regular contact with teachers helps parents stay informed and address issues early.

3. Setting Expectations: Parents who set high, yet realistic academic expectations motivate students to work harder.

4. School Involvement: Attending parent-teacher conferences, volunteering, and participating in school events strengthen the home-school connection.

5. Modelling Positive Behaviours: Parents who show a value for education and lifelong learning pass those attitudes on to their children.
