Abstract:
Parents play an integral role in their child’s education and are perhaps the most important
link between the home and tuition classes. Parent involvement in a child’s education is
consistently found to be positively associated with a child’s academic performance. In order
for students to learn and for teacher to teach the learning environment must be safe however
there has been little investigation of the mechanisms that explain this association.
This study focuses on the parent’s perception on emerging trend of private tuition classes
towards their children’s education. It discusses the various aspects of private tuition classes
in particular its influence on parent’s perception. Data was selected through a selfadministered questionnaire from the parents who have school age children of Kaluwachikudy
Divisional Secretariat Division in Batticaloa district. So, this research revealed that a positive
parent’s perception on private tuition classes definitely empowers a school age child and
their tuition teachers to perform their tasks in more efficient manner. These two are
interrelated and we can conclude that parents can have a positive perception on private
tuition classes the positive perception is supported by results on a study of Kaluwanchikudy
D.S Division parents.
