What should be done to better include parents in the educational process?

they should be, but to follow the policy of the school not theirs

A parent (from Latin: parēns = parent) is a caretaker of the offspring in their own species. In humans, a parent is of a child (where "child" refers to offspring, not necessarily age). Biological parents consist of the male who sired the child and the female who gave birth to the child. In all human societies, the biological mother and father are both responsible for raising their young. However, some parents may not be biologically related to their children. An adoptive parent is one who nurtures and raises the offspring of the biological parents but is not actually biologically related to the child. Children without adoptive parents can be raised by their grandparents or other family members.

A parent can also be elaborated as an ancestor removed one generation. With the usage of IVF, it is possible to have more than two biological parents. 

Parents must be involved in the educational process because chilodren most time set with their parents

My opinion is to exclude them from the process outside house, but involve them into helping their kids at home

They must be considered as main stakeholders.

Parents must be involved in the educational process by monitoring and guiding the learner at home to the proper way of the educational process

Hello aya,

In my opinion parents need to understand the importance of

1- Education

2- Skills

3- Talents

normally they push children to education without monitor the progress or even consider this child skills or talent especially in the middle east.

The soultion is having a small presentation in each year when school/college start to educate the parents with what i mention above and how the college/school can work together with the parrents to achieve the best.

The following should be done to include parents in the educational process:

1. Inform and get the signatures of the parents about the content to be taught, assignment to be given, class activities, and class projects, and Parent-Teacher Conferences etc. in the beginning of each term.
2. Inform and get signatures of the parents each week (or biweekly) about the progress and grade of each student.
3. Conduct at least two Parent-Teacher Conferences in each term.
4. Invite suggestions from the parent for the improvement of the educational process.
5. Call parents to inform and get their help and cooperation to improve each student’s progress.
6. Each teacher may add any thing else according to his/her situation to improve the educational process.

Thanks.
