Parent Engagement Programme

The Parent Engagement Programme empowers parents and communities with the knowledge and tools to support their child’s overall development. Through interactive sessions, the programme encourages parents to take an active role in their child’s learning journey and support their progress both at school and at home.

Enabling parents to help children do better at school

Parental involvement plays a vital role in a child’s educational journey. However, due to low literacy levels and daily hardships, many parents face challenges in supporting their children’s learning, often lacking the confidence or resources to do so.

The Parent Engagement Programme bridges this gap by bringing parents and communities together to support children's overall growth and development. Designed for parents of students in Grades 1 to 8, the programme conducts focused engagement sessions on key topics to help parents better understand their role in their child’s education.

Led by experienced and seasoned counsellors, these sessions are tailored to the specific needs and backgrounds of families. Each meeting offers practical insights and clearly defines the roles of all stakeholders, empowering parents to actively contribute to their child’s learning and well-being.

Implementing Parent Engagement programme

  • Conducting parent engagement meetings to address important themes for the overall development of the child.
  • Setting agendas for the meeting with a team of experienced counsellors to maximise parent’s involvement to make informed choices for their children.
  • Hour-long meetings amongst parents and counsellors to highlight the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders.
  • Interactive meetings which include activities to engage parents are conducted with the support of the school and the DMart Foundation staff.
  • A systematic data collection structure is used to record parent attendance, school staff attendance and artefacts of these parent meetings.
