ABSTRACT
Parents are the most important and influential people in their children’s lives. In Jordanian society, parents are an essential part of children’s learning and education. Over the last two decades, Jordan has made great strides in the field of parental involvement in education as a result of its great interest in the early childhood sector. This chapter addresses efforts made by local, regional, and international organizations and agencies to establish parental involvement programmes in schools and to create community awareness of parent engagement. This chapter draws on evidence from past studies to discuss what has been done in the field of parent involvement and discusses implications for policy and practice to develop parental involvement in early childhood education.
