Effective parental involvement in school affairs may be linked

to parent educational programs which is central to high quality

educational experiences of the children.
The parents become part of the environment of leaning at
home. Parents follow up the lesson of their children especially in basic
education.
Parents provide curriculum materials that are not provided in
the schools.
They provide permission for their children to participate in
various activities outside the school campus.

In most cases parents associations have strengthen the

curriculum by giving support to various activities and assisting in the
accomplishment of the schools curriculum.

Interview a teacher in the school you visited and inquire how

they have utilized their parents as school partners in education.
