Parental involvement usually refers to the practices of parents, guardians, and caregivers who support their school-aged children in learning. There are many reasons why parents may not be actively involved with their children’s education.

Parents, having a high workload or they don’t live in the same house. Some take a more “hand-off” approach as they want the school to handle more academic matters, so having a low parental involvement has a direct impact on student performance because they do not have a support network outside of the formal learning environment.

Some parents are not  aware of the Digital Knowledge to monitor their kids' classes particularly during Covid Pandemic online schedule for the classes. Poverty is another cause  by which they are unable to afford the digital devices and data charges monthly to make their kids learn online and having limited family resources.

During the pandemic it is a dire need to study how online and offline  education shows impact on students' learning and their cooperation and coordination from the parents at their home.

1. What made me take up this research project?

Although the government and the private management established various modes of education i.e online and offline  to students during the Covid 19 pandemic.

Despite the provision of education through a variety of media, it can be observed that there is a lack of parental encouragement locally.

2. How are the findings of this research applicable for my

teaching/classroom?

It is advised to consult frequently with the parents of the students to know their opinions over learning of their children.

It is mentioned that to conduct awareness programs to the parents on Dos and Donts over online or offline teachings for Govt school parents.

It is suggested to the Govt to provide Digital means of communication specifically to the Govt schools.

It is recommended Online and Offline English Teaching Material should be shared with the students properly and having discussion with the parents.

It's found that awareness on the schedule / timetable of online and offline classes which are being telecast by the state education department  should be brought to the parents properly.

Parents should be motivated to help their children in improving their English environment  by providing various Digi facilities like English Movies, News, Cartoons etc

It is found that parents teachers meeting should be organised either online or offline regularly to exchange the views of parents over the development of the children in English language

It is also noticed that the education system during  covid-19 pandemic  should be flexible and accessible to the parents easily.

It is also suggested to the concerned governments to provide digital facilities at the Government schools because the Government School parents are not being communicated properly by the head of the institutions and teachers Regarding the attendance, feedback  and progress of their children etc.

It is Suggested to extend the school/ Teachers support to the students by providing additional worksheets, visit in their homes frequently and having a good rapport with the parents accordingly.

It is suggested that English Learning home assignments of students  should be encouraged  to do with their parents.

For this small study, I have chosen a data sample of 32 parents. The findings of this study indicate that parental involvement in students' learning is impacted by factors including teachers' and schools' collaborative efforts, educational qualifications of the parents, their economic situations and mainly accessibility of information.
