Two research questions and hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study employed correlational survey research design. The population of the study was 23,537 comprising of all the public primary school pupils in Katsina Metropolis. Out of which a sample of 378 pupils were selected using the Research Advisors (2006) Table for determining sample size. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used in the selection of the study’s sample. Two different set of questionnaires were administered to pupils sampled in the study and their parents. The questionnaires were adapted version of Palkovitz’s (1997) Parental Commitment Questionnaire (PCQP) for pupils and Parental Commitment Questionnaire (PCQP) for Parents. The data was analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) in order to ascertain the relationship among the variables involved. The findings revealed a significant relationship between parental commitments in their children’s learning and level of pupils’ discipline; and that there exists a significant relationship between parental commitment in children’s learning and level of pupils’ success. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that Parents who demonstrated higher commitment to their children’s learning had children who exhibited higher levels of discipline and success. The study identifies the relevance of parental commitment in their children’s learning in fostering pupils’ discipline and academic success. The findings also have implications for parents, teachers, and policymakers, suggesting the need for collaborative efforts to promote parental commitment and support pupils’ discipline and academic achievement
