      2.    Parents should endeavour to improve on their socio-economic status (income, education and occupation) in order to aid the performance of their children.
      3.    Parents should endeavour to enhance their educational status (e.g in-service training, part-time programme) so that they could assist their children in any of their class assignments.
      4.    Parents should make sure that they engage in business or occupation, such as trading so that they would be able to cater for the education and shelter of their children.
