According to the Cambridge Dictionary, “education is the process of teaching or learning.” This process of teaching and learning should not only be at school, college or university. The process of teaching and learning should first start in the home. This is where the parents come in. Their role in the education of their children is very important from the onset because they are the foundation of learning for their children. Parents are the first educators of their children, this is so because children normally learn their first words at home, including learning to count and saying the letters of the alphabet with their parents. So, it is safe to say that parents are their children’s first teachers. Therefore, the role of the parents in their child’s education starts very early. As a parent one must value education and this must be shown to your child.
