weaknesses of their children, thus, they are the best sources to guide

research is mainly focused on the role of parents in pupil academic
activities in secondary level courses and for this purpose, the
researcher had designed a questionnaire containing 150 respondents.

Quetta do care about the education of their children and they maintain
a check on the activities of their children which helps them understand
the nature and interests of the children.
