Abstract

This study assessed the impact of parental engagement on pupils' outcomes in public primary schools using real-time progress reports at Ifako Ijaiye Local Government Education Authority, Lagos State. The study employed a descriptive survey design with a sample size of 220 respondents comprising parents and teachers, selected using stratified random sampling from the eleven real-time progress reports adopted public primary schools at Ifako Ijaiye Local Government Education Authority. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that real-time progress reports significantly enhance parental involvement and positively influence pupils' academic performance and classroom behavior. It recommends capacity-building for parents and teachers, provision of digital infrastructure, and policy reforms to institutionalize digital reporting systems across public primary schools. This research contributes to educational management literature by offering empirical evidence on the value of real-time communication tools in enhancing home-school collaboration.
