Effectiveness of Parent Teacher School Management Committee on Quality of Education in Public Secondary School of Tehsil Hub, District Lasbela

Abstract

Parental involvement in school activities, such as Parent, Teachers, and School Management Committees (PTSMCs), is crucial for improving education quality. This study aims to explore how parents can participate in school learning activities, enabling students to achieve high grades. The study found that most parents believe they are no longer responsible for their children's education, educators oppose parental meddling in school matters, and parents oppose parental meddling in school matters. To compare the effectiveness of education provided by Tehsil Hub of District Lasbela, eight high schools were selected, and 100 participants participated using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Open-ended questions were used for teachers and parents, while closed-ended questions were used for students. The study found that PTSMC is effective based on firsthand observation. Using a Likert scale questionnaire, the students assessed the quality of PTSMCs performance on several dimensions. The questions on the questionnaire are all closed-ended, making statistical analysis and quantification of the data easy. Data were gathered using a questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, and all available administrative documents. Data was collected through in-person visits and subsequently subjected to statistical and content analysis. There were recommendations given considering the findings.
