PARENTS INVOLVEMENT IN ACADEMIC EDUCATION – A REVIEW
Keywords:
Parental involvement, elementary, learning, dropoutAbstract
Despite the fact that existing educational policies and practises demonstrate universal support for parental participation, it is not always apparent what this implies. A broad number of activities are considered part of parental participation, but the most common one is the usage and investment of time and money in the education of one's children by one's own parents and other family members. Investing in children's education may take place both inside and outside of the classroom. Discussions about school, assisting with homework, and reading aloud to children are all examples of how parents may be involved in their children's education at home. Volunteering in the classroom, attending seminars, or attending school plays and athletic activities are all examples of parent involvement.
