Comparative Study of Principal Role in Parents Participation at Secondary School Level

Abstract

School Success mainly depends upon active participation of parents with schools. The role of school principals is crucial in providing more opportunities to parents about their kid performances and progress. Their effective participation with schools greatly enhances the academic and non-academic performance of the learners. It is the strong home-school connection that also motivates teachers and school faculty to make the school better. A sample of 30 principals and 80 parents were selected for the study. Data were collected through questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed statistically, and conclusion drawn at the end. It was concluded that private school principals were more active and connected with the parents of their students as compared to the public schools. The study identified that school and home communication could enhance the learners' motivational level, classroom performance and social behavior.
