<p>This research focused on parental involvement in the rural farm area in Citrusdal to examine the nature and characteristics of farm worker parents&rsquo / involvement in their children&rsquo / s&rsquo / education. This study followed a mixed method approach (qualitative and quantitive approach) to determine if parents are involved in their children&rsquo / s education. Questionnaires and interviews were used for data gathering. Participants that were involved were a sample of the parents, and the learners of the four schools in Citrusdal area. From the data gathered the findings of the study indicated that farm-worker parents in rural farms of Citrusdal area are involved in their children&rsquo / s education and that mothers are more involved than fathers in their children&rsquo / s education. I hope this research will make a contribution towards understanding the involvement of the farm-worker parents in their children&rsquo / s education. I have also proposed possible recommendations to assist the school-based personnel and the parents in developing and sustaining a stronger and more positive role in their children&rsquo / s education.</p>
