The most significant influencers are parents, who help their kids achieve academically through positive support and encouragement. The performance of their children in school activities and the parents’ involvement in them are consistently correlated; this makes children flourish in education. Parenting style and strategies at home furnish growth and development in every facet of kids’ lives. Hence, analyzing the effects of parental participation (PI) on their kids’ academic development is the goal of this study. This study utilizes a mixed-method research design for collecting data. The answers to the questionnaire were collected from 425 parents and 110 teachers. The interview data was obtained from 37 parents, 32 teachers, and 130 students. NVivo software was used to evaluate the qualitative data, while SPSS software was used to examine the quantitative data that had been obtained. The study findings reveal that PI expands children’s academic performance and motivation, joining in educational activities, intensifying the school attendance rate, decreasing dropout rates, accelerating positive attitudes towards learning, and regulating behaviour and discipline among children. The study result indicates the positive effects of PI on kids’ academic achievement (AS). The novelty of the study resides in its overarching, complete studies on how PI affects parents’ kids’ academic performance. The study contributes to the field of child education by laying out and focusing on the influence of PI over the child’s academic achievement and suggesting making certain of the PI in education for the benefit of the child. The study suggests putting forward the design of the implementing programs to draw the attention of parents in education by demonstrating the PI’s constructive outcomes on a child’s AS.
