The study examined the Practitioners’ and Parents’ Perception of Parent-Teacher Partnership on Children’s Education in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State Nigeria. The general purpose of this study was to critically examine practitioners’ and parents’ perception of parent-teacher partnership on children’s education in terms of communication, involvement in homework, volunteering and decision making in Ilorin Metropolis. The study employed the Explanatory mixed-method design, the purpose of this design was to create a synergy between the qualitative and quantitative results. The study sample size was 420 and the stratified sampling technique was adopted for the quantitative method to select 400 respondents, while simple random sampling was used for qualitative method to select 20 participants. The instruments for data collection were two questionnaires titled ‘Practitioners’ Perception of Parent-Teacher Partnership Questionnaire 1 (PPPTPQ 1)’ and ‘Parents’ Perception of Parent-Teacher Partnership Questionnaire 2 (PPPTPQ 2)’ and two interview guides titled ‘Interview guides for Practitioners’ on their Perception of Parent-Teacher Partnership’ and ‘Interview guides for Parents’ on their Perception of Parent-Teacher Partnership’. The reliability of PPPTPQ 1 yielded reliability coefficient of 0.88 and PPPTPQ 2 yielded reliability coefficient of 0.93 using Cronbach Alpha technique. Two research questions and five hypotheses were generated for the study. Independent samples t-test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that communication is perceived as the most important means of parent-teacher partnership in Ilorin metropolis. In addition, one of the findings of the study also revealed that involvement in home work is perceived as the second important means of partnership between parents and teachers. The result indicated a significant difference between practitioners and parents perception (t = 2.197; df= 397; P < 0.05), no significant difference between the male and female practitioners perception (t = 0.34; df = 198; P> 0.05), there is significant difference between public and private practitioners (t = -2.32; df = 197; P< 0.05), no significant difference between male and female parents (t = -0.10; df = 197; p > 0.05) and parents whose children attend private schools and those who attend public schools (t = 0.29; df = 197; p> 0.05). Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that communication is perceived to be the most important means of partnership between parents and teachers, as it was discovered to have the highest mean value while volunteering is considered to be the least perceived means of patent-teacher partnership as it has the lowest mean value. The following recommendations were made: Parents, practitioners and other relevant stakeholders need to understand the importance of parent-teacher partnership, this will help them choose the type of partnership that is more appropriate and safe for the parent and the teacher. A regularly PTA meeting should be organised, at least twice in a term.
