Can Parental Involvement in Schools Improve the Quality of Citizenry?

Abstract

Schools as learning institutions cannot be the independent entities for preparing students to create a peaceful and humane society. Schools are social institutions and are surrounded by other agencies of social importance such as hospitals, community organizations etc. The prime responsibility of schools is to ensure the acquisition of knowledge for all students. In addition, the students have to gain age appropriate social and personal skills. Academic intelligence may not be of great value if the students lack these skills which are necessary to lead a happy life, also, contribute to happy and healthy families which in turn form happy and healthy communities and society.
