Three dimensions are cognition, behavior, and affect. Parental attitudes studied contributes to the formation of long-term mechanism of the DRP. The results show that on the affect dimension, the parental attitude of supporting the DRP policy has a significant positive impact; parental cognition of the DRP shows positive impact on students’ learning and school education; in behavioral indicators, parental attitude towards the DRP confirms positive supportive behavior.
