Abstract
Parental involvement in education is not a new concept;
parents have always been involved in education in various ways
and to various degrees. Perhaps nowr parents are more
sensitive to the important role it plays in ensuring the full
potential of the child is realised. Departing from the
premise, that it is important, useful and necessary, the
researcher has embarked upon an in depth literature study of
parental involvement in education in various communities and
has undertaken an empirical investigation of the involvement
of parents of pupils in secondary schools in the Phoenix
North area. The main thrust of this research was to explore
the obstacles to parents being involved fully in the
education of their children and to make appropriate
recommendations to the principals, as the school managers.
