The basic system theory designed by Bertalanffy (1968) was used to elicit information from the participants. The study employed a qualitative research methodology which involved collection of data through a semi-structured interview, in which two parents were purposively selected.

Based on the findings, the researcher recommends that the local and state government should work out modalities to create more avenues in which the parents and communities could be more committed to educational management in the area. |
