Table 4.6 shows that slightly more than two thirds of the students either strongly agreed (37.7%) or agreed (47.0%) with the statements that their parents rewarded and gave the positive remarks about their academics. However, a few of them (8.6%) strongly disagreed with the statement.
Slightly less than a half of the pupils (41.7%) strongly agreed with the statement that they were always free to discuss their academics with their parents since they are always approachable for intellectual assistance. This was further supported by a third of them (33.1%) who agreed to the statement.
On whether parents are quite committed and self-sacrificing in their work and encourage students to work hard in their academics, majority of the students (67.5%) strongly agreed whereas 28.5% of them agreed. Slightly more than half of the pupils (57.6%) strongly agreed that their parents take an active role involving themselves to their academic requirements.
Additionally, a third of the pupils (33.1%) were also positive to the statement by agreeing.
On whether parents assigned students some school based tasks and gave feed back in time, slightly more than a third of the students (37.7%) disagreed. On the other hand, 31.8% of them agreed that their parents assigned them some school based tasks and gave feedback in time.
Slightly more than half of the students (51.7%) strongly agreed with the statement that parents show a positive attitude towards their school's teaching/learning progress. This was further supported by 37.1% of them who agreed with the statement. When asked to indicate whether their parents are a source of academic inspiration and motivation, slightly more than half of the students (55.0%) strongly agreed whereas 26.5% of them agreed with the statement. However, a few of them (13.9%) disagreed with the statement.
Further, the pupils were asked to indicate the extent to which the attitude of their parents on education affected their academic performance. They were asked to indicate whether to a greater extent, to some extent, not at all or they were not sure.
