The document discusses the important role of parents as the "More Knowledgeable Others" or MKO in their child's education. As MKOs, parents are responsible for establishing a connection with their child, acquiring learning materials, regularly checking their child's work schedule, preparing a conducive learning space, and providing praise and encouragement. Parents are also partners to teachers who act as home facilitators and channels between the school, community stakeholders, and their child's education. A child's education is a shared responsibility of teachers, parents, and the whole community, especially during the pandemic.
