This was because they were having more experience in teaching and were able to expose ideas on parental involvement in education and student`s learning. The correlation analysis shows that there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between the level of parental involvement in education and student's learning outcomes at Kanaba Secondary School in Kanaba Sub County. The correlation coefficient of 0.469 suggests a moderate positive association between the two variables, indicating that as the level of parental involvement in education increases, the student's learning outcomes also improve. The p-value of 0.000 indicates that this relationship is statistically significant at the 0.01 level, indicating a high degree of confidence in the results. Therefore, the findings suggest that parental involvement in education is a crucial factor in improving student's learning outcomes at Kanaba Secondary School. Parents who are actively involved in their children's education can positively impact their motivation, engagement, and academic performance. Some school administrators and teachers may not know how to involve parents; therefore, educators lacking this knowledge could be taught techniques for involving parents and creating partnerships. Administrators and teachers may not fully understand the importance of parental involvement and the effects of parental involvement on student achievement research.miu.ac.ug/publications 1 METROPOLITAN JOURNAL OF BUSINESS & ECONOMICS (MJBE) ISSN 1813-422X (Print) ISSN 1813-4238 (Online) Vol. 2 Issue 2, May - 2023, Pages: 1-10
