This research focuses on the perceptions of headmasters, teachers and parents on parental commitment in leading learning among the orang Asli students. This study was carried out in 9 primary schools which include 9 headmasters, 113 teachers and 102 parents as respondents. The data was collected by using questionnaires and was analysed by using descriptive statistics. The findings showed that all respondents agreed that the level of parental commitment was high in leading learning orang Asli students. The result of the correlation analysis between parental commitment and student achievement showed a low and negative correlation score value but is significant. These results provide indication that although parents’ commitment was high but students’ achievement is still very low. The implication of this study is to further investigate on factors that affect achievement. This study also suggests that motivation program for orang Asli parents need to be continued to further enhance their commitment.
