Parental Involvement Nurtures Academically/Behaviorally Challenged Students of Bannawag Integrated School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This paper was conducted to engage parents in an intervention for 73 students in Bannawag Integrated School who are considered academically and behaviorally challenged.

METHODS

This study used the involvement and engagement scheme. Academically or behaviorally challenged students from Grade 7-10 of Bannawag Integrated School were identified. This was followed by vesting parents with guided techniques to lessen unruliness. Monitoring and evaluation ensued. An evaluation of the impact followed.

RESULTS

When parents, schools, and communities work together to support learning, children tend to do well in school. Performance indicators are also enhanced. Benefits to parents include intellectual and emotional advancement and better parenting capabilities.

DISCUSSIONS

Educators have challenging careers that are all too often unacknowledged, but parent contribution helps ease their burden. When parents get involved, they join services with teachers to make a formidable educational team. The results of the paper suggest that parenting capability and involvement should always be at the front. This supports the expert's quote that "It takes a village to educate a child". The result of the study suggests also that these should be disseminated to all schools in Diffun District 01 who have the same concerns.
