Abstract

In 2010, the Kingdom of Eswatini granted learners with mild to moderate forms of autism the right to access education in neighborhood schools. However, the Eswatini Annual Education Census report of 2019 did not make specific mention of these learners current state of affairs. This qualitative, phenomenological study explored strategies for optimizing parental involvement in the education of learners with autism in Eswatini mainstream primary schools. The data were extracted through interviews and document analysis from fifteen purposively sampled parents and teachers selected from four mainstream primary schools in Eswatini. The data were analyzed thematically. Ethical considerations upheld during this investigation were informed consent, voluntary participation, anonymity, and confidentiality of information that participants divulged. One major finding of this study demonstrates that thedeployment of highly autism-qualified teachers is crucial for laying a concrete foundation for parents to use in helping the learners in theirstudies. Thus, to accrue theinvolvement of parents in education, the Deputy Prime Ministers office should state guidelines and craft monitoring tools to ensure that schools embrace and support the involvement of parents.

Abstract

The study focuses on parental involvement and its impact on the academic performance of grade nine learners in Bronkhorstspruit, Gauteng province. It highlights that many parents in the area tend to defer responsibility for their children's academic success solely to educators, expecting schools to address any challenges. This reliance is compounded by low attendance at parent meetings and minimal participation in school activities. Consequently, academic performance suffers among grade nine learners in the region. The research aims to offer effective strategies for parents to enhance their children's academic outcomes and to advise schools on fostering better parental involvement. Following a qualitative approach within the Interpretivism paradigm, data was gathered through semi-structured interviews and document analysis involving ten purposefully selected parents, though only five participated. The study is theoretically grounded in the Hoover-Dempsey Sandler Model of Parental Involvement, which explores parental motivations and perceptions regarding involvement in their children's education. Key findings indicate that issues such as parental knowledge gaps and strained relationships between schools and parents contribute significantly to the lack of parental support in Bronkhorstspruit schools.
