Parental Involvement and Effective Nation’s Implementation of the Universal Basic Education (UBE)

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine parental involvement in their children’s education. The feed back of the parent’s involvement informed on the effective nation’s implementation of the UBE. Data for the study was derived from 500 parents/guardians in Calabar Municipality of Cross River State. Using the one sample mean (population t-test) and the independent ttest, the hypotheses tested revealed that: (1) parental involvement in their children’s education was significantly lower; (2) female parents were more involved in the education of their children/wards. Recommendations were therefore made at improving parental involvement in their children’s education for effective nation’s implementation of UBE.
