The objective of this research is to deepen the knowledge and to validate the effects of the age of the student on the parental involvement in his or her schooling and the implication of this parental involvement on the student’s academic results or performance in the Togolese context. To do this, 472 parents were chosen from among those who enrolled their children in Form Seven classes in the commune of Kara. They responded to a questionnaire we submitted to them. A review of the literature on this issue has identified benefits for children, teachers and parents related to parental involvement. The analysis of the answers obtained from the survey allowed us to evaluate the effect of the student's age on the involvement of the parent in the formal education of students.
Author Keywords: parental involvement, age of student, performance, schools, Kara.

Abstract
The objective of this research is to deepen the knowledge and to validate the effects of the age of the student on the parental involvement in his or her schooling and the implication of this parental involvement on the student’s academic results or performance in the Togolese context. To do this, 472 parents were chosen from among those who enrolled their children in Form Seven classes in the commune of Kara. They responded to a questionnaire we submitted to them. A review of the literature on this issue has identified benefits for children, teachers and parents related to parental involvement. The analysis of the answers obtained from the survey allowed us to evaluate the effect of the student's age on the involvement of the parent in the formal education of students.
Author Keywords: parental involvement, age of student, performance, schools, Kara.
