dc.description.abstractMany research articles reported about the consistent findings that the involvement of parents in education of learners is more likely to take root in urban than in rural schools. Moreover, most schools where parental involvement is functional, parents are more involved in non-academic than academic activities. In this article a survey of whether and how professional educators (N=146) of rural lower primary schools in northern Namibia (purposive sampling) perceive and practice parental involvement in the academic education of learners (Grade 1-3) was done. The current trend exposed by this study demonstrates the potential of rural lower primary schools in practising parental involvement. Therefore, strengthening rural schools’ initiatives to network with parents and other potential stakeholders for learners’ education seems to be a sensible recommendation.en_US
