Parental involvement is participation of parents in regular, 2-way meaningful communication about the childs academic learning and other school activities. It is believed that if pupils are to maximize their potential from schooling, then parental support is necessary. Global trend is to give parents increased role in governing schools. In Somaliland, since the introduction of FPE in 2011, parents have assumed a greater role in the running of schools. However the influence of parental involvement on pupils academic achievement had not been investigated. This study investigated the influence of parental involvement on academic achievement of pupils in public primary schools in Borama District, using survey of 291 pupils from 19 public primary schools in Borama District.

The study concluded that parental involvement has a significant influence on academic achievement of the pupils.
