The study involved a sample of twenty-five Syrian parents residing in Gaziantep. To ensure a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the research, a phenomenological approach was adopted, and a purposive study group was selected. The sample included Syrian parents with diverse socio-economic and educational backgrounds, all of whom had at least one child enrolled in official primary schools in Turkey. The researcher utilized personal information and semi-structured interview forms to gain insights into the perspectives of Syrian parents. Content analysis was employed to analyze the collected data. The research findings revealed that various factors, such as language proficiency, socio-economic status, and psychological, political, ideological, religious, cultural, and educational aspects, influenced the participation of Syrian refugee parents in education. Despite variations in educational, social, and economic backgrounds among Syrian parents, it was evident that they all placed significant emphasis on the active engagement of their primary school-aged children.
