The academic achievement of students is a fundamental concern for educators, parents, policymakers, and researchers alike. Achieving excellence in education not only benefits individuals but also contributes to societal progress. In this pursuit of academic success, various factors have been identified as crucial determinants, ranging from teaching methodologies to learning environments. Among these factors, the role of self-concept in shaping academic achievement has gained considerable attention in recent years. A positive self-concept encourages resilience, adaptability, and a growth mindset, nurturing individuals who are better equipped to face challenges both inside and outside the classroom. Parents play a pivotal role in shaping a child's self-concept. The study's findings can provide parents with valuable insights into how to nurture self-confidence, support their children's learning journeys, and contribute to their overall well-being. In this study, thematic analysis serves as the chosen methodology to delve into the nuances of how self-concept acts as a determinant of academic achievement. The methodology involves identifying, analyzing, and interpreting recurring patterns or themes within qualitative data. By employing strategies that nurture self-esteem, resilience, and a growth mindset, educators can create classroom environments where students feel empowered to learn and excel. Similarly, parents' unwavering support, belief in their children's potential, and provision of nurturing environments are instrumental in fostering positive self-concepts that translate into academic success.
