The study concluded that; that failure in paying students ‘facilitationfees leads to poor achievement as many are absentfrom school, missing studies in Lwengo District. Parents ‘failure to provide necessary scholastic materials leads to poor achievement as many students depend heavily on schools and yet public schools do not have enough necessary teaching and learning materials. It was recommended thalsirict measures must be put in place by the District Educational Officer~ which can enforce parents to fully participate in the academic affairs of their children, Head teachers, Board of governors should clearly state and explain to parents about the necessity of teaching and learning materials to boost the students’ educational attainments. Uganda as a country and Lwengo district policies must continue to encourage the development of school-family community partnershzps as an essential component of larger school improvement effort, Regular sensitization meetings and community non-formal education classes should be organized within Lwengo District to inform parents about the value ofeducation to children, the community and the nation.
