In this paper, we focus on the fundamental theoretical principles of equality and equity, which underpin the principle of equal opportunities in education. The authors present the starting points and findings of domestic and international research in this field, which are used in the discussion to answer the research questions posed, namely (1) what is the impact of parental involvement on children's education, (2) how are the principles of equality and equity manifested in the education system, and (3) how can parental involvement be taken into account as a factor in the implementation of the principle of equality and equity for children with lower levels of parental involvement in their education. There is no doubt from the research findings that parental involvement in children's education has a number of positive effects on children's educational achievement, as well as on their socialisation and motivation. The key to parental involvement lies in the development of appropriate interpersonal relationships, with teachers taking into account the diversity of parents' needs, experiences and skills. Research also shows that a significant barrier limiting parental involvement with schools is a sense of inferiority, so we conclude that more proactive and tailored ways of engaging parents are needed, based on what parents are good at, or based on what parents know rather than what they do not know.
