Abstract
Results indicate that age, gender, occupation, family size, and recreational activities do not significantly affect parental engagement, reflecting consistent commitment across demographic groups. However, monthly income and educational attainment significantly influence overall involvement, with higher levels linked to greater engagement. Despite these disparities, financial support and parent-teacher collaboration emerged as universal priorities among parents.
The findings highlight the importance of strengthening parent-school partnerships to enhance parental involvement. Schools are encouraged to provide workshops, regular updates, and literacy programs alongside fostering effective communication through newsletters, meetings, and digital platforms. Addressing socioeconomic and educational disparities through targeted programs and flexible participation options can empower parents to support their children’s academic and holistic development effectively.
