In India, education is largely considered as a powerful medium \u201cto become successful in life\u201d. The 2021 UNICEF reports say, almost 80% of Indian parents believe that what their child could achieve academically would be a major factor determining his or her future. Thus, naturally, parental involvement in their child’s education becomes limited to monitoring the results, helping out in schoolwork, and attending parent-teacher meetings. This level of involvement in a child’s education does create immense stress to the entire system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is this too high an expectation from parents?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my opinion, It is not that high nor are we expecting too much from them; it is simply that we need to redefine the existing parental involvement. Instead of expecting parents to tutor their children at home, schools can design simple, parent-friendly avenues for participation, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
Short trainings for parents on helping their child’s emotional and behavioural well-being.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Parents reading to\/with their children for few minutes a day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
I argue that parental involvement should also encompass non-academic activities. A study by Pratham Education Foundation claims that only 30% of rural parents engage further in their child’s education outside the school; often this lack of involvement stems from work commitment, lack of formal education, and socio-economic barriers. Such limited involvement will hamper the child’s learning abilities and overall development.<\/p>\n\n\n\nImage Source: ChatGPT 4.0 AI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Strong Partnership between School and Home Necessarily Important?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indian schools have traditionally viewed teachers as the only authority in education. With large class sizes and administrative work, one-on-one engagement with parents is becoming increasingly difficult. As reported by the Azim Premji Foundation, the number of students interacting with a single teacher in Indian government schools averages 30-to-1, with certain classes whose strength exceeds 40-50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel (GEEAP, 2023) stated that simple but effective parental involvement, such as reading with their children, could improve learning outcome scores by 20%. Therefore, under the National Education Policy (NEP 2020), schools are now encouraged to become community learning centres in which parents can be engaged in specific reading campaigns along with activity-based learning and experiential education models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Impediments in Parent-Teacher Bond<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apart from all the benefits, different kinds of obstacles block the paths to an effective parent-teacher relationship:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cultural Barriers<\/strong> – Most rural parents think that teachers alone are capable of deciding matters relating to their children, and their involvement is not mandatory. According to a 2019 study by IIM Ahmedabad, only 32% of rural parents said they could comfortably discuss their child’s progress with teachers. Time Constraints- 70% working parents (NASSCOM report) become unable to devote time to school-related activities because of their long hours of working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What can schools do to enhance parent-teacher engagement?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\nParents Engaging in School Development Activities in Vidhya Vidhai Schools<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Strengthen Communication Channels<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Communication is essential for strong parent-teacher relationships. To relate Vidhya Vidhai\u2019s experience with a district school, huge differences in student behaviour were realised when WhatsApp groups for parents were formed by teachers. Such real-time updates on students’ progress, attendance, and behaviour foster the sense of shared responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can technology plug the gap where there is no connectivity, particularly in rural areas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Introduce voice messages and mobile-friendly applications to parents who have very low literacy levels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Regular community meetings can then be held in local languages to boost their child\u2019s attendance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Education is not solely confined to academics; it also encompasses emotional and social development. It\u2019s been identified that students who explored non-academic activities of their schools apparently scored higher marks on measures of emotional intelligence and conflict resolution (Economic Times, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a study by the Azim Premji Foundation, 70 percent of children from schools in which parent-teacher interactions were robust exhibited confidence and adaptability regarding their social ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can schools get parents included in the holistic development?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Activity days for parents and children can be organised around creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Parents are encouraged to participate in storytelling sessions, gardening excursions, or cultural programs at school.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
Creating an Inclusive School Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Parental involvement does create a cohesive community. Cases cited in a 2021 Centre for Civil Society report showed that schools mustering strong relationships between parents and teachers recorded better attendance of students and lower dropout rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, in a state school in Madhya Pradesh, structured activities toward engaging parents showed a dramatic increase of 15 percent in the attendance of its students in a period of six months.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
How can schools motivate parents for involvement, despite having little time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flexible scheduling, including virtual meetings for working parents, can be scheduled by the school management. Short, effective weekend workshops can be organised instead of long meetings during the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Managing the Misaligned Expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A study published by The American Psychological Association<\/strong> (APA) suggests that parents<\/strong> often focus on academic performance as a measure of success, while teachers<\/strong> emphasise emotional, behavioural, and social development as key to overall success. The charge lies in creating a connection between the two perspectives through sharper communication and shared goal-setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parental expectations regarding school education can be aligned with those of the educational goals using the following measures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Parents can be educated through appropriate orientation programs organised by schools about holistic child development. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Joint goal-setting meetings where parents and teachers collaboratively define success for each student. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A Partnership for Success<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through this blog, I believe that I showcased concrete evidence that a good parent-teacher partnership achieves success with students. For this purpose, the involvement of schools, teachers and parents is needed, while they have challenges to navigate: cultural hesitations, time constraints, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Dr Rukmini Banerji rightly said, “Education is the responsibility of parents, families, communities, and schools working together.” Education should be very rightly seen as a common responsibility involving more than just the classroom.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Are we prepared to move from an attitude where education in India is seen as something that happens within school walls to one that sees education as a shared mission involving families, teachers, and communities?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I leave it to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
