The purpose of this study was to explore parental educational aspirations and expectations as a correlate of academic achievement among adolescents during COVID -19. The sample for the study comprised of 500 adolescents in the age group of 16-18 years studying in +1 and +2 classes in the Government Senior Secondary Schools of rural and urban areas of Ludhiana and Moga districts of Punjab. The Jacob (2010) Scale of Educational Aspirations and Expectations for Adolescents (SEAEA) was used to assess the selected respondents’ parents’ educational aspirations and expectations. The scale has a total of 43 items. The items reflect both ideal (aspirations) and practical (expectations) educational goals that parents have for their children. The results revealed that most of the parents’ of adolescents were in high level parental educational aspirations and expectations followed by medium level and low level. The parents of girls had high parental educational aspirations and expectations than boys. Non-significant differences were observed in rural as well as urban parents indicating not much difference in rural and urban parents’ educational aspirations and expectations. Significant correlation was observed in adolescent girls in parental educational aspirations and expectations.
