    (Lead City University Ibadan, 2023) Erikitola, Joy Ozavize; Atoba, Bolanle Olawumi
    Access to quality education is critical for the development of a nation, and the education of girls is essential for achieving gender equality and inclusive growth. However, in Nigeria, cultural, social, and economic factors have contributed to significant gender disparities in educational outcomes. One critical factor that can influence the education of girls is parental involvement. Parents play a vital role in promoting their daughters' education by creating a supportive learning environment, setting academic expectations, and providing financial and emotional support. This paper examines the role of parental involvement in promoting girl child education in Nigeria. It discusses the challenges that parents face in becoming involved in their children's education, including poverty, cultural beliefs, and limited access to educational resources. The paper then explores effective strategies and best practices for promoting parental involvement, drawing on successful programmes from other developing countries. These strategies include community mobilization, parent-teacher associations, and home based interventions that target parents and caregivers. The paper also highlights the importance of engaging fathers and male family members in promoting girl child education, as they often hold significant influence over girls' educational decisions. Finally, the paper discusses the potential impact of parental involvement on educational outcomes, including increased school attendance, improved academic performance, and higher rates of graduation. In conclusion, promoting parental involvement in girl child education is essential for achieving gender equality and inclusive growth in Nigeria. By creating a supportive learning environment and engaging parents and caregivers, one can unlock the full potential of Nigeria's girls and create a brighter future for all.
