Parents are integral to their children's educational journey, profoundly impacting their social, emotional, and academic development. Research consistently demonstrates that active parental involvement correlates with improved academic performance, healthier lifestyle choices, and enhanced social skills among students. In Uganda, the importance of parental engagement is not only recognised in the country's constitution but also emphasized in education legislation.
However, in many rural public schools, parental involvement in their children's education has waned. JM Education and Research Centre (JMERC) is dedicated to revitalising parental responsibility and engagement in rural communities. Through open dialogues focused on pertinent educational issues, we aim to reignite parents' commitment to their children's learning.
Our objective is to empower parents by providing platforms for discussions on the challenges affecting their children's education. By fostering collaboration and collective problem-solving, we strive to facilitate holistic learning experiences for every child.
