A questionnaire was used to obtain quantitative data related to the parents’ socio-economic background and their involvement strategies in their children’s education at home. The results indicate that most Malay parents, regardless of their socioeconomic background show a high degree of involvement in most of the parental involvement strategies at home to ensure their children’s educational outcomes.
