Abstract
Parent teacher interaction is necessary to achieve targets of effective education at school level. In general, parents do not try to develop interaction with teachers of their siblings. This paper aims to discuss current status and issues regarding problems of teachers to develop interaction with parents. This was a survey study based on data from 640 teachers. This reveals that teachers have knowledge about the importance and ways to develop interaction with parents of their students. They use multiple ways in this regard but face problems in developing an effective relation with parents due to poor skill and non cooperative attitude of parents. This suggests a change in content and training pattern of teacher education courses. This on the other hand, highlights need of proper planning and implementation by education department in explaining role of teachers and school management to attain expertise to learn ways to develop interaction with parents.
