Abstract

This research goal was to find out how parental involvement and academic achievement relate to elementary school students (grades 1 – 5) enrolled in CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) institutions. The basic education curriculum at CBSE schools, which is known for its demanding academic standards and emphasis on holistic development, necessitates parental engagement. This research primarily looks at the impact of working parents and non-working parents on academic results, considered the daily amount of time that these parents spend with their kids studying. Since kids spend so much time with their families outside of school, family relationships are expected to significantly affect their academic performance. Therefore, the research goal was to examine the connection between a child's academic achievement and their parents' involvement in their schooling. To determine the level of parental support and its impact on academic success, 140 primary school parents, including single parents who stay at home and those who work, filled out a Microsoft Forms questionnaire. Hence, a quantitative research approach was used in the study.
