摘要:Children are the building blocks of the nation and home is the first and most important school for the child, will ever have. Parental involvement has been recognized as the most important factor to influence the childhood and adulthood. Any enrichment programme, for maximizing the potentials of all the children has to have active parent-child interaction. The role of parents in bringing up their children is quite important both in terms of their devotion with respect to time spent with them, money and other consideration. Parents transmit the culture and custom of society to the incoming generation. Parent involvement implies how the parents involve themselves in developing overall personality of the child. It may be described as the allocation of resources to the child‟s school behavior. Parents‟ involvement in education either in school or at home, will create a partnership between school and parents. The resulting partnership between parents and school will develop effective communication from home to school and school to home. The main objective of the present study was to compare the parent knowledge, attitude and involvement towards school education between boys and girls children. Data was collected with the help of standardized tool „Parent Involvement Scale‟ by Dr. Rita Chopra and Surbala Sahoo. Sample size was 100 boys and girls of IVth and Vth Standards, will be selected from Agra city. Analysis of data was done by percentile technique. Findings of the study indicate that involvement of parents towards boy is more than girls. Although they support both of them but in some areas like tours from schools, outdoor group study, financial matter etc, they still ignore girls.
