Lebanon is a nation whose history may be depicted as continuous social, political, and sectarian conflict due to European political meddling and a protracted civil war. Although finding common ground in this complex milieu over the past several decades has been challenging, political and educational reforms have been enacted. The role of parents in the education of their children, however, may be characterized as being both limited and school centered. The paucity of empirical research on school--parent relations in Lebanon provides an opportunity for scholars to inform future educational policy processes.
