The aim of this paper is to provide a review of relevant scientific and professional literature on gender equality, its influence on the duties division in the family, especially those for children's school obligations, and to highlight the benefits of participating in the same and the benefits of mutual cooperation between schools, parents and children. Social differences between women and men are implied by gender as well as cultural and historical differences, and in addition, gender includes different social roles and expectations. It is an important social form of stratification in almost all societies and the family as the fundamental unit of the organizaton of society proviedes the most important developmental context within which social roles are learned. The concept of gender equality equally values the role of men and women, viewing them as equal and full partners. Parenting is a dynamic process that should result from mutual negotiations, agreements and reflections of the parents, and implies an equal role for both parents. However, there is still no complete egalitarian divison of parental resposibilities related to childcare in practice, although sharing resposibility for the same could provide an oppurtunity for each partner to have time for themselves. Mothers usually bear the greatest burden of care and concern for the child including its education. However, fathers are also valued in their roles in child rearing and development, and it is very important for the child as well as for the whole family, that fathers are active members of the family and maintain a close relationship with their own children. When it comes to school obligations, they are very important for children's development because they represent one of the first developmental tasks for children to confirm their abilities. School success contiributes to success in other areas of a child's life as well due to the fact that it has a empowering effect on self-confidence and self-esteem. Parental involvement in child's education can be divided according to different aspects: educational activities within their own home, communication with the school and the participation in school activities. Parents' behaviour will affect the child's attitudes and his motivation for everything that happens around him, especially for school and school obligations. The child actively processes information and constructs self-image through the behaviour of the parents, therefore all types of parental involvement in the child's school duties and activities have an impact on the children.
