PARENT ENGAGEMENT IN THEIR CHILDREN LEARNING
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
This chapter entails the background of the study, the general purpose of the study, specific objectives as well
as the research questions. Finally, it includes the importance of the study and the scope the study covers
1.1 Background of the Study
Parental involvement in their children learning has a great impact on student’s overall performance in
school. Despite the increased awareness, much is expected from the parents and the school community.
Although there are many scholars who have focused on this issue, much is yet to be done by the school
community and the parents.
In the school community, parents/caretakers, teachers and students have different roles to play. Some parents
just take their children to school and pay for school fee (De Gaetano, 2007). However, there is more than
parents should engage in to support the good learning of their children. These activities include but are not
limited to; attending school meeting, visiting the school management to check their children progress,
communicate with teachers and their children to know the level of their children among others (Earl, 2006).
In Morocco, most parents tend to so busy in their occupation giving it as a reason for not getting involved in
their children learning. There is also a high rate of illiteracy among the parents. Some do not understand
how their concern in their children progress in school can affect student’s success (McBeath, 2011).
