• networking with other parents and encouraging them in lending their support in all activities
• providing constructive feedback to help school achieve success
• contributing innovative ideas to enhance the quality of school programmes
• attending school functions or meetings regularly
• volunteering services to contribute to the success of school programmes
• providing professional expertise wherever possible
• demonstrating concern and providing moral support for their children
• taking an interest in their children's well being in school

How Pupils Benefit  

Studies have shown that pupils whose parents are involved in their education:

• achieve more in school
• have higher grades and better attendance, and complete homework more consistently
• are more likely to develop a working relationship with their teachers
• have a higher graduation rate and enrolment rate in post-secondary education
• are able to bridge the cultural gap between home and school
• exhibit more positive attitudes and behaviour
• are less anti-social and less prone to violence and alcohol abuse
• achieve long-lasting gains when activities involving parents are well-planned and comprehensive
• are more effective in making transition to a higher level of education

How Parents Can Help

• create a home environment that encourages learning
• set high, yet reasonable expectations of their children's achievement and their future
• become involved in their children's education at school and in the community
