INTRODUCTION
1. BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
This cause of poor or good educational development of students in secondary
school in addition to other factors may largely start from home, conditions
such as poverty, poor feeding, insufficient sleep and general neglect could
cause the backwardness of the child’s educational development. Herein comes the
effects of the family social background towards the educational development and
achievement of a child in local government area of Delta State, whose simply
and understanding meaning is the effect of the social class of the family on
the general educational development of a child. Through the school may be
trying hard to help the child to improve on the educational development, its
effort may yield poor results if the parental attitude to school is lukewarm.
This could reflect from either the stability or instability of the family in
question. The students are blamed most of the time for performing poor in their
academic work. The fact is not only that they do not read their books or do
their home works but these of them who do not normally pay their school fees
promptly might be sent out of the school to get their schools fees from their
parents. Due to the effect of the family background towards the educational
development of a child, the parents have to work harder to belong to a better
social class. (Have a better social background). They should at least belong to
the lower middle social class, since the educational development and the
success failure of their children finally depend on the family
income.
1. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS
Nowadays the teachers are often blamed for the poor educational development of
children without actually finding out other related factors that can contribute
to children’s problems as far as their educational development is concerned.
Most parents are quick in pointing accusing fingers at both the child and his
teachers, whereas they ought to have the greater blame. Should the whole
problems be entirely heaped on the teachers who always want the best for his/her
students? Hence it is necessary to find out the justification the parents have
for blaming the teachers as regards the poor educational development of
children. In actual sense, the foundation of socialization of the child is laid
at home. Moreso, the children spend more time at home than school. many factors
associated with the family could have actively contributed to the positive or
negative educational development of the students. The problem therefore is how
do we reconcile the conflicting views on the effects of the family background
towards the educational development of a child in school.
Hence the data collected for this study are therefore intended to answer the
following questions;
1. What effect does the degree of parents
educational level affect the educational achievement of a child?
2. Are children from illiterate homes more prone to
poor performance in educational attainment?
3. How does the condition of living in the home of
parents affect the educational development of a child?
4. Does the socio-economic class of a given family
influence the general educational development of a child?
5. Does the family structure in terms of monogamy
or polygamy affect the educational development of a child?
6. Does parental negligence determine the rate of
the education achievement of their children?
7. Does sex of a child determines the educational
achievement of a child?
8. What are the influences of the gifted children
as regards their educational achievement?
9. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The purpose of this study is to find out the general effects of the social
belonging of the family towards the educational achievement of a child in Local
Government Area of Delta State. In recent years, there has been a ranging
contradiction between the homes and the school as to which of the two is
infact, responsible for the poor or good educational development of children.
For this reason, the research decide to carry out a case study as to what
effect, family social background has on the educational development of children’s.
This will lead us again, to find out the suitable class a family belong to in
order to ensure that the targeted goal of giving their children a sound
education are achieved. This is a result of the investigative research made by
researcher. The purpose of this essay is among other things to find out why the
social family background and the general educational development of children
remain problematic. This will enable the researcher to make appropriate
recommendations on ways of improving the educational development of student
from different family background.

to encourage the students to perform better in their academics development.
Furthermore, teachers, parents and students do not know as much of the positive
and negative effects posed by the social belonging of ones parents towards the
general educational development of a child, or they were less thoughtful and
mindful of such problems, therefore a careful study and reading through this
