Children’S Education

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused more than 1.6 billion children and youth to be out of school in 161 countries. The crisis has highlighted flaws in educational programs while also providing opportunities to reshape schooling. Climate change, technological disruptions, and globalized communication are all increasing the likelihood of such crises. These issues have given rise to doubts and debates regarding the dilution of the educational systems and dubiousness being felt by the parents regarding the same. As a result of the transition of homes into classrooms, parental engagement and parental involvement have emerged as major influencing factors of online education. As parents are the major stakeholders in the online educational format. They have always played an important role in their children's education. However, in the aftermath of the pandemic, the parent's position has shifted dramatically. Parents now bear a significant amount of responsibility for their children's education. This has given rise to conflicting emotions in the parents regarding the dilution of the education system and more importantly the onus of child’s education shifting to the parents thereby reducing the responsibility of the schools and teachers. Often parents have been heard expressing their resentment at the reconfigured roles and responsibilities caused by the shift. The present study intends to focus in their perspectives on online education. The present study attempts to understand the dilemma being faced by the parents.

Multiple Challenges

Parental involvement in children’s education plays a crucial role in a child’s life. However, meaningful parental involvement is often a difficult task for immigrant parents because of multiple challenges such as limited resources and information, language barriers, and cultural differences. This article presents findings from qualitative research interviews on the involvement of Filipino immigrant mothers in their children’s education in South Korea. The results indicate that the immigrant parents take their children’s education seriously. They want to raise their children to be happy and successful, knowing that performing well in school is the key to a successful life as an adult, especially in a nation with a fervor for education. Like other parents, they are willing to devote themselves to their children above all else. Compared with previous studies, not many barriers to involvement were revealed in this study. Only two, language barriers and financial concerns, were expressed by all participants as obstacles to involvement in their children’s education. Yet, the true, hidden barrier is how the immigrant parents view their Korean proficiency. They over-emphasize the language barrier, which causes them to avoid conversations with others.

The flare-up of coronavirus has reportedly put on many changes and wrecked chaos in almost all life aspects, economically, academically, and socially. School closure has led to homeschooling, where the responsibility of children's education was laid mainly in the parents' hands. Consequently, many parents were compelled to be significantly involved in their children's education. However, full parental engagement in children's education is seemed to be a comparatively new trend amongst Saudi parents. Drawing from existing literature on parents' involvement, this paper used a quantitative descriptive study through a survey method to access the experience of Saudi parents involved in homeschooling. A purposive sampling technique was used to recruit 51 Saudi parents.The findings showed that even though Saudi parents have encountered some challenges, they are facilitating their children's learning and assisting them throughout the online learning process. Parents' support was identified in different areas such as ensuring students' attendance of online sessions, nurturing a good session flow, connecting with teachers and parents via WhatsApp group, and taking full responsibility for mongering their children during exams. The result provided a comprehensive set of recommendations not only to parents but also to schools to consolidate a good connection between especially in times of crisis. It is envisaged that the results of this study will enrich the literature about this phenomenon which seems relatively new not only in the context where this study was situated but worldwide due to the pandemic of coronavirus or other unforeseen circumstances.

Point Of Reference

For the most part, children who succeed in the educational system can attest to the role parental involvement has played in their success. While some families have reneged on their responsibility or have left it up to other units in society, it is an almost undeniable fact that families are the most important point of reference insofar as educating children is concerned. In this regard, Andrea M. Nelson-Royes’ book, Families as Partners: The Essential Link in Children’s Education underscores the critical role parents and families play in the life of children, and offers a range of suggestions as to how families can be helped to appreciate this role. The information contained therein seeks to empower parents and families and critically looks at the interplay between schools, children (disabled and normal) and families themselves.

This study is a quantitative research hinged on the descriptive study paradigm where perspectives of selected parents of pupils at the early childhood level at the Anomabo Circuit “A” in the Mfantsiman Municipality of the Central Region of Ghana were sought on how parental involvement is shaped in their localities, the extent of their involvement in their children education, and challenges they confront in this direction. Using descriptive and inferential statistics such as means and standard deviations, findings from the study among others revealed that parents perceived the school as a place for teachers to be in charge; though the results that emanated from the study points to parent participants of this study being involved in their children’s education. On the issue of challenges that confronts parents in the involvement of their children’s education at the early childhood level, also an objective that informed the study, the results among others include; lack of financial resources, and time constraints and busy schedules. Again, as part of recommendations in the advancement of parental involvement at the early childhood level in Ghana, the study among others calls for robust education and prescription of how parents can and should be involved in their children education.

Migrant Parents

This qualitative case study explores Indian migrant parents' perceptions of their roles and responsibilities in relation to their children's early year education (ECE) in Australia. The study involves face to face in-depth interviews with a small sample of six parents who had migrated to Australia not more than five years ago and had children attending an Australian ECE. We explored their participation in their children's education, the factors that prevented or facilitated their engagement, including how they perceived their parental roles and responsibilities. A framework analysis of the data points to limited participation of the parents in their children's education in spite of several opportunities for involvement as they felt that their children's teachers had more power than them. In addition, the parents were not quite happy with the schools regarding behaviour management strategies the teachers employed for reducing children's misbehaviour. Based on the findings we argue for early childhood teachers to build effective partnerships between migrant parents and promote effective education for all children.
