The responsibility for the support of their children within school context was left to teachers, or it was accepted that primary educators did not have specialized knowledge and that learning support should occur only at school. Within South African context primary educators are often semi-literate, illiterate or socio-economical

In the late 1990s, many Somali families immigrated to South Africa due to the on-going factional wars in their country to take up employment opportunities and start a new life as immigrants.

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech. degree in Education.)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2009.<br>The improvement of the teaching-learning process in schools is enhanced by the involvement of parents in their children's learning. Parental involvement has the capacity to create a partnership between the most important role players in the education system, namely; teachers, parents and learners. According to this approach, parents are the most effective and reliable individuals who play a significant part in their children's education. The aim of this study is to investigate the nature of parental involvement in

Abstract:
M.Ed.<br>Surprisingly little debate about the role and responsibilities of parents has surfaced in the current wave of concern over the plight of public education. Has there been a decline in parent involvement in the schools and if so, is that decline part of the schools' problem? Should parents step in when schools are faltering? Should schools that seek to improve themselves reach out to parents to help? What can parents contribute to the education of their children, at home and in schools? However illuminating the answers might be, these questions are hardly being addressed. Even with adeq

Abstract:
Black urban schools in South Africa are frequently beset by problems such as inadequate facilities and resources; poor motivation among teachers and pupils; poor family relations and a high incidence of violence. Against this background and in view of evidence that effective parent involvement in education addresses many of these problems, this study explored parent involvement in black urban communities. A literature study investigated existing theories and models of parent involvement; the urbanisation of and educational provision for black people in South Africa in historical perspective

Beside the State, the parents also have the primary responsibility for a child's upbringing (UN Convention, 1998). The South African constitution is regarded as one of the best in the world.

Abstract:
In general, a particularly complicated and difficult relationship has existed between parents and educators, due in part, to the fact that educators have always been seen as the experts and proverbial holders of knowledge in the educational process while parents have been seen to be peripheral to this process. This inequality is seen to be problematic as a child's significant learning is increasingly understood to occur in both the home and school contexts. This study explored the perceptions of a selection of parents and educators across the three levels of the educational process with the ai
