One strategy that can be implemented is to hold training and socialization programs for parents about the importance of their participation in children’s education, as well as concrete ways to be more actively involved. Second, communication between schools and parents needs to be improved. Schools can utilize various communication media, such as regular meetings, newsletters, and digital platforms to ensure that important information reaches parents. With better communication, parents will feel more involved and have a clearer understanding of their role in supporting their children’s education. Third, involving parents in the process of planning and evaluating school activities can increase their sense of ownership and responsibility for the success of their children’s education. Schools may form committees or working groups consisting of representatives of parents, teachers, and school staff to jointly formulate programs that support student learning and development. Originality/Value – This study provides new insights into parental participation rate in education in primary schools in Indonesia, especially in the Petapahan Jaya area. These findings are expected to be the basis for the development of more effective policies and programs in increasing parental involvement.
