Therefore, this study had a qualitative and exploratory method, involving a non-probabilistic sample of 15 participants. Where 5 are teachers and 10 guardians, who responded to the semi-structured interview. The treatment and analysis of the results corresponded to the following categories: pre-analysis which was based on the reflection of data collected in the field, Exploration of the material which focused on the exploration of articles, monographs, dissertations and theses for the theoretical support of the study and Analysis of the results where it was based on the treatments of data collected in the study. The research results highlighted the challenges that families face in educating children in the school context, such as: the non-participation of some families in periodic school meetings; weak effort in educating children generates unsatisfactory results, and Lack of interest on the part of the family in monitoring their children's education.
