Content: 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. Hence, school administrators
have to encourage parents to get involved and make contribution towards helping the
school achieve its missions and goals (Sapungan & Sapungan, 2014:45). Seeing parents involved in the education of their children is a good thing because it
improves academic performance. Learners become more focus ed in their school work
(Kwatubana & Makhalemele, 2015:315). This motivates learners not to give up easily
when they d o not understand a particular topic and will not bunk classes because they
know that their parents are always monitoring their school attendance (Lemmer,
2007:320). Learners whose parents are involved, a re active and ready to learn, they
learn to be punctual from young age, they learn to be persistent as the parents would
be continuously enquiring about their progress and they would not want to disappoint
them.
