Abstract EN

This study explores parents’ awareness of the importance of national examinations and their role in helping their children in grades 4-6 achieve national standards in the four subjects Arabic, English, science and mathematics in Qatari Independent School.

Data were collected through a questionnaire that included four themes : the relationship between home and school, awareness of the importance of national tests, the topics that benefit from the parents’ opinions, and the parents’ council.

The sample included 919 parents.

Results showed that there was communication between the school and parents in regard to students’ academic levels, school behaviors and performance on school tests ; however, there was a lack of communication and parental involvement in discussing their children’s scores on the national tests, the reasons for their children’s low performance and ways to improve their performance.

The study offers recommendations for improving students’ performance on the national examinations.
