Abstract:
The study investigates the influence of parental involvement on curriculum implementation in
public primary schools in Chepalungu Sub-County, Bomet County, Kenya. Using a mixed methods approach, the research explores the extent of parental engagement, the socio-economic
factors influencing involvement, and the impact of cultural attitudes on education. Findings reveal
that parental participation in school activities, communication with teachers, and support for
homework significantly affect curriculum implementation. However, socio-economic challenges
and cultural perceptions often limit effective involvement. Gender roles were identified as barriers
to equitable parental participation. The study underscores the importance of policies that promote
inclusive parental engagement and address socio-economic disparities. Recommendations include
community-based initiatives to reshape cultural attitudes towards education and targeted programs
to alleviate economic barriers, thereby enhancing curriculum implementation and educational
outcomes
