INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Our secondary school today offer some subject like chemistry, physics, English
language, mathematics, economics, commerce,, fine art, history, government,
geography, home economics etc in an attempt to categorize these subject above
into broader areas, we would certainly findout that fall under science, social
sciences and pure arts. These subject listed above are very important for our
day to day exercise and they are designed to relate them to experience in life
to achieve success therefore, both side have to be very active in other words,
the teachers must be dedicated towards effective teaching and the students must
strictly adhere to the rules governing hard work in order to succeed in the
pursuit of their academic career in life. It therefore means that poor
performance of students is serious problem which demands urgent solutions.
Education is very vital in the human existence because the society and
education are interrelated and inter-dependent. This can also be seen in the
nature and development of a child born in a given society. The school is an
umbrella governing children for different parental background and social
background and as such the children learning and rate of academic development
is closely related to other experience. The child’s performance in school is
determined by environment which the child finds his or her self. In the socio
economic different factors can be found, these include social, economic,
psychological, cultural, genetic, environmental and emotional.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS
Education has been defined as a continuous process which start from birth and
ends at death, parents, teacher’s educators and researchers are aware of
factors that could influence or fell on a child performance in school. This
effect of education on a child’s life can either be positive or negative and it
can both be emphasized based on itemizing the importance of education. The
potentiality of a person can be determined by both formal educations he set or
receives. Research work on study has shown that when a child is born he is a
tabular raser, but both other researchers have shown that a child does not take
into school bank. He or she goes into school equipped with what his home has to
offer, it is therefore important to know that the research work is designed to
investigate and analyze The impact of parents occupational status students
performance academically at senior school certificate examination (SSCE) in
some selected secondary schools in Benin City. This work hopes to finds out the
different in educational performance between children whose parents are
academically, socially and economically balanced and those that are not
academically, socially and economically balanced.
PURPOSE OF STUDY
The purpose of this work is to find out or show the effect of socio economic on
children performance in school. It is based on selected secondary schools in
Benin City. The research work will show among other things suggested or proffer
solutions to some of these problems that militate against student’s
performances in school. This research work will assist students in the future
who want to conduct researcher on the same topic. This project work therefore
intends to examine if the under factors could affect the child’s performance
academically.

SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
It has been asserted that a child performance in school is determined to a
large extent by the socio-economic of the child, since social life is the
primary source of letting. This work will therefore show the significance
different in socio-economic of child with result to academic performance in
school. This research work will assist curriculum planners in planning of
school curriculum. It will help them recognize individual differences of
individuals or parents.
Apart from benefits of curriculum planners works, the teachers should make sure
that a classroom learning situation should enter for various categories as well
adjusted pupils or students. It also help create a new method of teaching
conclusively, irrespective of parents, socio-economic status (SES) parents
should endeavour to encourage their wards at home and provide them with all
amenities that enhance academic performance.
