CHAPTER ONE
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
The failure of parents to recognize

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.
