They stressed that when parents and teachers are aware of a child’s behavior at both home and school, it helps in the child’s personality development.The officials pointed out that these meetings provide an opportunity for parents to learn about their child’s learning progress and habits from teachers, and for teachers to gain insights from parents. This, in turn, improves the quality of education. They also noted that parents’ support is crucial for the development of the school’s infrastructure. The officials further added that each child possesses unique qualities, and identifying these traits can help children excel in their future endeavors.
