Recent researches have explored the various pathways by which parent education may affect their parenting and child outcomes. Parenting methods have been found directly related to emotional and social development and hence Emotional intelligence in children. Conception of emotional intelligence as an ability to perceive and regulate emotions correctly is the pivot of a child’s life adjustment and adaptation; consequently to success in llife. Therefore this study aimed to relate the emotional intelligence scores of students of master level at Kohat University of science and technology to their parents’ level of education. The raw mean scores on the emotional intelligence scale showed a regular increase with the increase in the level of parent education , but the results were not found to be significant. In spite of having some limitations in terms of sample size and the current law and order situation of the area, the study may serve as a significant base for further studies over this topic.
