Abstract: Children of educated parents are more likely to do well in school if they attend a good school with a good teacher. In most cases, a child's chances of doing well in life improve if they come from a family where at least one parent has a college degree. It stands to reason that children of high-income and high-education parents will do well academically. Parental involvement in their children's education extends beyond the classroom and into the home. Parents often offer their children reading materials such as books, newspapers, and academic publications. The education level of a person's parents significantly affects the education level of that person's children. A survey of Vehari district residents was conducted as part of the study. Finding out if and how student performance improves with parental involvement is the primary focus of this research. Primary school educators in the Vehari district were the subjects of this research. The 300 educators in the Vehari region were randomly chosen for this investigation. The data was compiled using a carefully crafted and field-tested questionnaire. The grading method was set up as a five-point Likert scale with five possible locations for each answer. The reliability of the questionnaire was determined to be 0.712. The study's objective explored whether parental involvement in their children's education improves their academic performance.
