This study aims to find out the education role in facing poverty after understanding the correlation between parental education expectations and educational participation, children's academic achievement, and poverty. The reasons of choosing the research topic were highlighted. Furthermore, the analysis of the relationship between student achievement, parental education expectation, educational participation and poverty were also documented. Finally, three possible rational directions were proposed. First, parents' attitudes towards children's educational participation and expectations will determine their future achievements. Second, the factors affecting academic achievement are complex, but children must not be denied the opportunities to infiltrate high society due to poverty. Third, close cooperation between families, schools, and all sectors of society is bound to be effective with long-term research and assessment supports.
