The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which a selected group of parents (mothers) in an under-resourced community in Kingston, Jamaica supported their children in their education. This study is a mixed-method case study involving 24 participants from a women’s organization in a low-income community. All women are mothers living in the inner city. They all have children ranging from age 3 to 24. Twenty-four copies of the questionnaire were first administered to the participants as a structured interview via telephone in 2013 by a graduate research assistant.
