Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of parents living in Garden Town, Johar Town, and Model Town regarding involvement of parents in their children’s education. This study used a sample of parents and their children’s teachers. The methodology that was used in this study was questionnaires comprised of different questions. Results indicated a statistically significant association between parent involvement and a child's academic performance, over and above the impact of the child's intelligence. Parent involvement in a child's education is always seems to be confidently linked with a child's academic performance. Lack of parents’ involvement may have a negative impact on student performance in and out of the classroom. Teachers along with parents need to play a major role in connecting classrooms, homes, and schools for achieving better results.
