Parental involvement in schools could improve academic and social gains of students. Teachers alone were unable to provide a satisfactory brought up to students. Throughout the world parental involvement in educational institutions was encouraged due to their positive role.

Government facilitated, funded and inspired such bodies. These bodies started involvement of parents and communities in schools since 1993. This study was conducted to see the effectiveness of such parental involvement in public sector schools of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. For this purpose 500 parents were approached through a questionnaire. Various relevant questions were asked from them. The analysis of the data depicted that according to the parents, the involvement of families and communities proved successful in improving the functioning of schools. It is recommended that parental involvement should be encouraged in educational institutions of the province.
