This article is a concept paper which analyses previous research on parental involvement on students' development in daily secondary schools. The analysis of research which had been conducted in Malaysia and other countries indicated that there are two main types of parental involvement which are at home and in schools. There have also been studies that have looked at parental involvement in their children's education in their communities. The outcome of the studies showed that parental involvement in children's education both at home and in schools result in increased achievement. However, some research found that parental involvement does not influence children's achievement in school. Furthermore, some studies showed that the level of parental involvement decreases when their children are enrolled into secondary schools. In conclusion, parental involvement is not the only factor that influences educational success or failure.
