“…These 'upbringing affects' may have a lasting effect on us and influence our risk preference later in life. The literature on the link between parental attitudes and child development is large and covers diverse strands such as children's education attainment (Porumbu and Necşoi 2013) through to childrens attitudes toward subjects like racism (Aboud and Doyle 1996). …”

“…For such mothers (especially single mothers) in Japan, finding the time and energy to help their kids keep up at school is often difficult and as such the academic performance of the child is hampered [11]. Reports in literature [12] have demonstrated that parental involvement is key in facilitating academic achievement of children. In Japan, it is known that a huge financial investment is required by parents to sustain their children in High School.…”

The socioeconomic status of a child parent impacts on the educational development and achievement of the child. This study evaluated the effect of socioeconomic status, specifically parents income and parents-child relationship on student's academic performance in Senior High School in Japan. Three hundred students of Senior High Schools in Osaka and Hyogo prefectures of Japan were randomly selected and used as the sample population. A well-structured questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection to ascertain the effect of parent's income status and attitude on student's academic performance at school using a four point Likert scale methodology. Academics grade point of students in an examination was also used as the determinant of students' academic achievement. Results showed that greater academic achievement for a student is attained by those students from financially buoyant families (Mean ± SD = 2.97 ± 0.88, X 2 = 11.991, P = 0.007), however, 29.7% of students strongly disagree. More than half of respondents (>50%) disagree that financial constraint determines the number of children that goes to school in low income families. Average exam grade (Mean ± SD) points for students from parents with high, medium and low-income status was 77.29 ± 13.1, 77.9 ± 23.3 and 80.79 ± 10.13, respectively (P > 0.05). In conclusion, our finding show parents involvement in children school activities matter most than the parent's financial status in uplifting the children academic performance in school. Our recommendation is that parents should always encourage their children and provide moral support as well for the child to be emotionally stable and have confidence in their academic pursuit to achieve excellence.

“…Knowledge and awareness are necessary prerequisites for changes in beliefs, including performance related to parental involvement. Because parents' expectations and aspirations have a positive impact on their children's school results and academic performance (Porumbu & Necsoi, 2013), it might be seen as a standard expectation from parents that they will be informed about their children's academic performance. The findings from this study show that rural parents do not even know their children's roll numbers, or the class section in which their children are studying.…”

The primary purpose of this study was to explore parents' perceptions of their involvement in their children's education. This study was conducted in secondary schools in a rural area of Bangladesh. People from this area mostly have low literacy and income rates. A qualitative case study research design was used. Five parents from five different schools in the rural context were interviewed. The findings from this study show that parents are not comfortable approaching the school and many parents do not consider their role as encompassing parental involvement in their children's education. The study concluded that parental attitudes and beliefs about involvement are the result of a lack of information about how they could be involved. This study recommends that policymakers and school administrators address parents' perceptions and not only make them aware of how they can become involved in schooling, but also create opportunities for them to do so.
