Abstract

Learning is commonly associated to an institution’s performance and capability to transfer knowledge from the instructors to the students. However, as shown in previous studies, it was proven that family involvement has a great influence on the holistic learning of students. Family participation and guidance within and outside school premises provide students with healthy learning experience. This may lead to better school performance, improved social skills, and success. Hence, family involvement is encouraged.
