TAK C. CHAN  \nKennesaw State University, U.S.A.  \nABSTRACT  \nThe purpose of this study is to solicit teachers’perceptions of helping minority parents in educating their children. When teachers have a positive perception of minority parent involvement, they are more willing to take initiative toward helping the minority parents. A quantitative approach was taken in this study with the use of a researcher developed instrument. All the 30 teachers of a minority school in Hong Kong participated in the study. Results of data analysis indicated that teachers perceived minority parents not contributing enough to helping their children’s study. Teachers indicated that they were willing to work with minority parents to get them involved in education However, the teachers admitted that they need to do more on their parts too.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nHong Kong, formerly a British colony, is now a Special Administrative Region of China. It has a current population of 7.5 million consisting mostly of Chinese from the Province of Guangdong. Out of the entire population, 300,000 are Muslims who establish themselves as a unique minority group in Hong Kong. They consist of various nationalities of southeast Asia. About 20,000 of the Muslim families in Hong Kong are ‘local boy’ families, Muslims of mixed Chinese and South Asian ancestry descended from early Muslim South Asian immigrants. In the new millennium, the largest number of Muslims in the territory are Indonesians in which most of them are female foreign domestic workers. Hong Kong has currently about 30 Islamic schools, scattered around Kowloon and New Territories. The development of these schools has been remarkably fast because of the rapid population growth and the special religious, social and educational needs of the minority students. Some of the affordable minority parents would prefer to send their children to special schools for minority children even though they are qualified for free public schooling.  \nREVIEW OF LITERATURE  \nMinority Parent Involvement  \nLasky and Karge (2011) found that minority parents placed a high value on education, yet this might not be enough to generate meaningful parental involvement. Chen (2020) claimed that“parents of minority are less likely to be involved in their children’s education than parents of nondisadvantaged children. If they receive adequate training and encouragement, however,[they] can be just as effective as other parents in contributing to their children’s academic success.”  \nFlorida State Department of Education (1988) conducted a study to examine ways for increasing the involvement of minority parents in educating their exceptional children. Thereport was focused on parents of exceptional children from low socioeconomic families. The parental involvement issues identified involved questions of policy, resources, commitment, and implementation. The department recommended drastic measures to address the needs for more adequate policy and coordinated services, more adequate funding, more effective use of training materials, and greater sensitivity and understanding of culturally diverse families.  \nIn a literature review, Kim (2009) reported findings on the school barriers that prevent minority parents’participation in their children’s school in the United States. The school barriers were  \nEducational Planning | Fall 2022 45 Vol. 29, No. 4  \nidentified as: (a) teachers’perception about the efficacy of minority parents,(b) teachers’perception concerning the capacity of minority parents, (c) teachers’ beliefs in the effectiveness of parental involvement and developmental philosophy, (d) teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching effectiveness,(e) school friendliness and positive communication,(f) diversity of parental involvement programs,(g) school policies, and (h) school leadership.
