Benefits arising from National Parenting Skills Training Programmes

• Mobilising parents and educators to work together is one of the most significant trends which will occur in education this century.
  
• It is also the key to ensuring that children stay at school until they complete their education and take up an apprenticeship or can enter tertiary education.
  
• Providing parents with the skills to inspire/ensure their children attend school daily until the age of 18, do homework each day and study for examinations will:
  
• Rapidly increase progression rates and grades achieved
  
• Decrease repetition, drop-out rates and absenteeism
  
• Increase respect for educators and schools in each community.
  
• Provide children with the opportunity to escape poverty, poverty related disease, a life of crime and to contest corruption.
