INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The relevance of education in the upbringing of children can
not be overemphasized. Since the children of today constitutes the leaders of
tomorrow, there is the need for every society to educate its children as this
will contribute to the overall growth and development, thereby reducing the
rate of crime and illiteracy in the society. For this is to make manifest,
certain things should be inculcated in the individual such as skills, habits,
attitude, moral values and prohibits disapproved ones. There should be a
combination of formal and informal education given to them in order for them to
make a constructive development of the society and themselves.
The interest
of educators is well pronounced as to what influence the socio-economic status
of parents have on their behaviour and learning ability. It is believed that if
such influence exists, it should vary widely according to the sophistication of
the learning contingencies provided by such factor.
But what we
see around these days, nothing but nonchalant attitudes of the parents towards
their children education. This is done in various ways, such as parents no
longer stay at home to see after the affairs of their children, simply because
of the guests by for the means of survival. Due to the fact that these children
are not properly cared for, some of them grow up to create problems for the
family and at times to the society entirely. This is simply from their
unwillingness towards the educational pursuit. Also academic performance depending
on the availability of learning materials or facilities, funds and otherwise in
situation whereby students from school A perform better in terms of academic
than school B, students lie on the above mentioned problems. So without parents
not being ready to train their children, their performance in school might be
discouraging due to the theory of individual differences. Even when some are
being cared for properly, you discover that they still not cope with the system
thereby leading to their failure or poor academic performance.
The home is
viewed as one of the factors that cause poor performance of students in
secondary schools. The problems of why children achieve of fail to achieve in
school has always been of interest to philosophers. The home background of
students, physical condition of home, genetic and endowment, poor methodology
of teacher have been put forth and possible answer and has received a great
deal of attention. Socio-economic background is one of the greatest factors
that influence secondary school students.
With these
observations, the poor performance of secondary school students in school work
could be traced to the schools’ parental attitudes, socio-economic status,
family size etc. the main aim of this study is to examine the influence of
socio-economic background of parent on the academic performance of secondary
school students in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo state. Confidentially,
the researcher intends to provide solutions to most of these problems above in
the course of study.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

parents to recognize and realize that the ability of their children to perform

against the influence of socio-economic status of students’ performance in
secondary schools. The governments to some extent also contribute to the poor
economy of the country making parents not able to send their children to
school, and also socio-economic status, family size, educational background,
influence of home, place of residence, family structure, influence of peer
group etc.
