Content: It does not just refer to parents enquiring about the performance
of a learner in schools, but also in them taking a role in communicating with their
children with the aim of having a healthy relationship w ith them, so that the process of
encouraging, mentoring, leading and insp iring may be genuine (Clinton & Hattie,
2013:324). How can parents be involved? Parents can be involved in their children's learning through becoming part of school
boards, being concerned about their children's academic performance, showing
dedication in their chi ldren's learning through availing themselves during parents
meetings, in order to gain a better understanding of the performance of their children. - 2 -
Parents can also be involved by means of follow-ups with their children's s ubject
teachers in order to identify areas where the children are facing challenges (Clinton &
Hattie, 2013:324). Where children fail, parents go to the extent of contacting their
teacher, thus, building and strengthening the teacher and parent relationship which
would show their commitment towards their children's learning. According to Hornby and Lafaele (2011:37) parental involv ement is a significant
element in education and can also be achieved through home-based parental
involvement like listening to the child as they read, helping them in completing their
homework as well as school-based activities, which include attending parents meeting
and education workshops. According to Labahn (1995) parents should also be
involved in children’s sports activities, as this would improve achievements and serve
as motivation. Benefits of parental involvement
Parent-teacher partnership makes tremendous impact on children's education. According to Llamas and Tuazon (2016:59) parents become comfortable when the
education system requires their involvement in school activities. The strong
collaboration of parents with school authorities can lead to increased improvement in
both physical and academic performance of the school.
