There ought to be strategies that are established based on knowing the real needs, specific to education, in order to stimulate parent motivation for learning and participating in educational programs. In order to be able to fulfill the fundamental function of the family - that is to provide security for the child - and its socializing, acculturating and individualizing role, the main purpose of educating parents becomes the formation of the parents' educational consciousness, of the requirement to make a conscious effort as the child's needs (including education) evolve.
