"Parents play an important role in their children’s learning. Studies show that children perform better in school if their parents are involved in their education.... Parents are the first and most powerful influence on their children’s learning, development, health, and well-being. Parents bring diverse social, cultural, and linguistic perspectives and are their children’s first role models with respect to learning about values, appropriate behaviour, and ethnocultural, spiritual, and personal beliefs and traditions. It is therefore important for schools and parents to work together to ensure that home and school provide a mutually supportive framework for children’s education. "
