"You give everything the child requires to attend school": Exploring caregiver involvement in children's education in Ghana.
Article in Open research Europe, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background Parents' and other primary caregivers' involvement in children's education is a key determinant of children's academic outcomes and a major goal of education systems worldwide. However, the current literature lacks a broad understanding of what formal educational involvement means for parents in West African settings, and the factors that drive or limit their involvement. Understanding caregivers' perspectives and the factors that drive their involvement is essential for developing effective policies and interventions. Methods We conducted focus group discussions with 132 caregivers from rural and peri-urban communities in three regions of Ghana. Participants were purposively recruited and data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results Caregivers primarily viewed their role as providing basic needs and school materials. However, caregivers with higher education discussed supporting their children's homework. Caregivers' involvements were constrained by four types of barriers: social and economic, caregiver and family, educational system, and child-level factors. Conclusion Our findings can inform culturally responsive education policies and interventions in Ghana and other similar low-resource settings.
