Commitment to the educational system may be affected by parents' low knowledge and lack of conviction. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to infer whether the degree of knowledge and conviction predict parental commitment to a denominational education system. A total of 250 parents with children of primary to middle school age from three schools in southern Angola participated in the study. Mean comparison tests and structural equation modeling were used for data analysis. The findings indicate that Knowledge social-spiritual correlates linearly positively and significantly with Knowledge physical-mental. Knowledge social-spiritual has a significant positive direct effect on Conviction social-spiritual and, this has a significant positive direct effect on Commitment social-spiritual and, a significant positive effect on Commitment physical-mental, who in turn, has a significant positive direct effect on Commitment social-spiritual and, this has a significant positive direct effect on Commitment development-continuity. In addition, Knowledge physical-mental has a significant positive direct effect on Commitment physical-mental. Therefore, knowledge and conviction are indispensable for parental commitment and facilitate the learning process.
