Parents Teacher Association (PTA) is a formal organization of parents and teachers that is formed to get parents involved in their children's academics toward school systems reform. The two groups meet to assess teachers and find ways of improving life and performance. PTA's provide parents and teachers a mutual platform to work for the betterment of the school, teaching and influencing the physical and intellectual growth of a child. PTA meeting helps both parents and teachers to solve any particular issues they are facing. This study examined the parents-teachers association intervention strategies: challenges and prospects. We did this from a community service perspective. The school should develop good human relationships with the parents to facilitate landmark development in the school by the members of the association. It was concluded that parental involvement in children’s education has a powerful impact on their attainment and adjustment.
