Abstract: This research paper examined the perceptions of stakeholders regarding parental involvement in secondary school management and its implications for student counselling and managerial decision-making. ANOVA quantitative data analysis revealed that there was a significant difference in stakeholder perceptions of parental involvement in regularly checking and advising on syllabus coverage, while stakeholder perceptions were almost similar for parental involvement in counselling on open days, advising children on academic days, spiritual guidance, and dealing with deviant behaviour through counselling as indicated in the high F-values and low corresponding P-values at the 5% significance level. The findings suggest that school administrators who involve parents in school management decisions are likely to receive more support from parents, while those who do not involve parents may face resistance. Based on these findings, the study recommends that school administrators involve parents in the management of student counselling, as it can positively impact parental support and improve managerial decision-making. Future research can also explore other areas of parental involvement in other aspects of school management.
