Parental Involvement in Schools Research Plan for Quantitative Study: The basis of this study is to gain a better understanding of why children do better academically if their parents take an interest in their school and participate in school activities (such as meetings, events, committees, etc.).

Studies also confirm that parental involvement may benefit not only students but also parents and communities. Parents who are more involved in their children's academic life are more likely to report positive perceptions of school and their children's achievements and more likely to participate in community events and activities. More and more researchers are adapting their views and emphasizing the need for increasing parental involvement at all levels of education.
