PARENT SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS AND STUDENTS' ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AMONG UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN AJAYI CROWTHER UNIVERSITY

The study is of immense benefit to students, parents, lecturers, institutions, and the government because it will facilitate a better understanding of the impact and effects of parental socio-economic status on academic performance at Ajayi Crowther University. It will also assist in understanding the influence and relationship between parents' socio-economic status and academic performance and regulating the disparities in socio-economic. This research, when finished, will assist parents in understanding the impact of the family on children, both positively and adversely, in connection to their school participation and academic success. They will be able to implement methods of academically successful child-rearing based on the advice provided. Likewise, it is likely to motivate parents to make their children's school experience somewhat comfortable. This study might also assist children from varied homes in understanding and remembering their parents' failure to supply them with all the essential school supplies, as well as empathizing with their family difficulties and situations. In addition, educational and curriculum designers should be guided to create curricula without rigidity to accommodate a culturally varied setting. In addition, instructors would be aware that a positive teacher-parent connection may mitigate the impact of a child's familial history on his or her academic success. Empirically, teachers may benefit from the study in that they should realize how the environment in which students are exposed can influence the quality of their learning. They should try and motivate them to become different from the family in which they are raised. This should encourage them, go out of their way to support them at school, and involve parents in their daily learning. Moreover, the study will contribute to the body of knowledge and serve as a resource for students and academics who desire to do more research on this subject. Lastly, the study is also expected to provide important recommendations to parents for improvement in students‟ academic environment in light of the study's findings.
