The article presents an empirical study on the role of parents and their cooperation with schools in preventing and overcoming educational difficulties. To teach effectively it is not enough to be competent and friendly towards pupils. Educational difficulties are the result of many elements, so a teacher has a limited power to solve such problems. Even most perfect educational methods used by a teacher who is lonely in his acting or by parents acting alone will not be effective. They have to cooperate and support each other to prevent difficulties. That is why the cooperation of parents with school is indispensable in order to deal with difficult behavior of pupils.

The method used in the study was an analytic observational study with a cross sectional design, involving 85 respondents selected through consecutive sampling. The results of the study stated that the income of male parents was very high at 43.5%, the income of female parents was low at 28.2%, the education level of parents was medium (45.9% for men and 41.2% for women), student academic achievement is high (49.4%), there is no significant relationship between the level of education of parents and student academic achievement (p> 0.05), and there is a significant relationship between parents' income and student academic achievement (p <0.05). Thus, there is no significant relationship between the level of education of parents and the academic achievement of the Nursing Faculty of Klabat University students, but there is a significant relationship between parents' income and the academic achievement of the Nursing Faculty students of Klabat University. The addition of other variables related to academic achievement needs to be done to improve the results of this study.

Academic achievement in immigrant children and adolescents is an indicator of current and future adaptive success. Since the future of immigrant youths is inextricably linked to that of the receiving society, the success of their trajectory through school becomes a high stakes issue both for the individual and society. The present article focuses on school success in immigrant children and adolescents, and the role of school engagement in accounting for individual and group differences in academic achievement from the perspective of a multilevel integrative model of immigrant youths’ adaptation ( Motti-Stefanidi, Berry, Chryssochoou, Sam, & Phinney, 2012 ). Drawing on this conceptual framework, school success is examined in developmental and acculturative context, taking into account multiple levels of analysis. Findings suggest that for both immigrant and nonimmigrant youths the relationship between school engagement and school success is bidirectional, each influencing over time the other. Evidence regarding potential moderating and mediating roles of school engagement for the academic success of immigrant youths also is evaluated.
