This study was conducted to see the effectiveness of such parental involvement in public sector schools of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. For this purpose 500 parents were approached through a questionnaire. Various relevant questions were asked from them. The analysis of the data depicted that according to the parents, the involvement of families and communities proved successful in improving the functioning of schools. It is recommended that parental involvement should be encouraged in educational institutions of the province.
