Introduction
1.1 Background Of The Study
The responsibility of training a child always lies in the hand of the parents. This is congruent with the common assertion by sociologist that education can be an instrument of cultural change which is being taught from home is relevant for this discuss. It is not out of place to imagine that parent socio-economic have possible effect on the academic achievement of pupils in pre-primary school. Whatsoever affect the development environment of pupils would possibly affect their education or disposition to it. Parental status
is one of such variables, when a woman’s nutritional status improves so too does the nutrition of her young pupils (Lisa et al 2003) Rothestein has asserted as follows: parent of different occupation classes often have different styles of child rearing, different ways of discipline their children and different ways of reacting to the children. These differences do not express themselves consistently as expected in the case of every family; rather they effect the average tendencies of families for different occupation classes (Rothestin 2004).
In line with above assertion, Hill et al (2004) had also argued that socio-economic status of parents do not only affect the academic achievement, but also makes it possible for pupils from low academic to compete well with their counterparts from high socio-economic academic under the same academic environment. Moreover, Smith, Fagan and Vivund (2002) had asserted that significant predictator of intellectual achievement at age of 8 years included parental socio-economic status.
Socio economic status and host of other factors relating to home environment of pupils as education background of parents, health status of pupils, parental occupation and family size could affect the pupils academic achievement.
