After reviewing opinion papers, program descriptions, theoretical frameworks, empirical studies, literature reviews on parental involvement, the study found a substantial gap in research, programs, and practice. The literature on parents’ involvement and its barriers, the study presents epistemological foundations for the overlooked part of parents’ training. The study recommends Internet Coupled Information and Communication Technologies (ICICTs) based parents’ training with synchronous and asynchronous modes providing quality content for enhancing parents’ knowledge, skills, and competence in educational aspects. These trainings on educational aspects target to create common knowledge constructs that can facilitate parents and teachers to establish complementary communication; leading to effective parental involvement beneficial for children and schools in the effective implementation of the whole-child approach. As parents' knowledge, skills, and competencies in educational aspects grow, it will increase their involvement, assistance, and interaction with their children and the school. Enhanced technology skills can also help parents overcome barriers that hindered their involvement in children education.
