1.5 Hypotheses
The following hypotheses are proposed to be tested.
1.
There is no significant relationship between educational attainment
level of parents and academic performance of students in senior
secondary schools in Calabar Municipality.
2. There is no significant
relationship between income levels of parents and academic performance
of students in senior secondary schools in Calabar Municipality.
3.
There is no significant relationship between parents’ occupation and
academic performance of students in senior secondary schools in Calabar
Municipality.
1.6 Significance Of The Study
The result of the
relationship between the socio-economic background and students’
academic performance will help to make useful recommendations to improve
the teaching profession if need be.
The teacher would be able to
take new dimensions to teach those less privileged from poor background
if all these problems are identified, known and taken note of. For
instance, an extra lesson could be given by the teacher to some sections
of the class that are weak academically in certain aspects of their
learning.
Even instructional materials like television, radios, field
trips and different programs might be provided for all the students and
it will give those that come from poor environment some of the
experiences which those students who come from rich environment have.
Therefore from this type of study it can be noted that continual
educational decisions could be made about students from, various social
classes, cultural and economic background.

will in these schools represent the entire students population.
