The study on parents perception on emerging trend of private tuition classes towards their children’s education in Kaluwnchikudy D.S division in Batticaloa district

Abstract

Parents play an integral role in their child’s education and are perhaps the most important link between the home and tuition classes. Parent involvement in a child’s education is consistently found to be positively associated with a child’s academic performance. In order for students to learn and for teacher to teach the learning environment must be safe however there has been little investigation of the mechanisms that explain this association. This study focuses on the parent’s perception on emerging trend of private tuition classes towards their children’s education. It discusses the various aspects of private tuition classes in particular its influence on parent’s perception. Data was selected through a selfadministered questionnaire from the parents who have school age children of Kaluwachikudy Divisional Secretariat Division in Batticaloa district. So, this research revealed that a positive parent’s perception on private tuition classes definitely empowers a school age child and their tuition teachers to perform their tasks in more efficient manner. These two are interrelated and we can conclude that parents can have a positive perception on private tuition classes the positive perception is supported by results on a study of Kaluwanchikudy D.S Division parents.
