THE PROBLEM
Introduction
Entering in Senior High School is much difficult than Junior High School more on
paper works, research, and individual or group activities. Daily allowance plays a major
role in student's academic performance. Everyday, students are preparing for more
expenses. Students experience unsustainability of their allowance that may affect their
academic performance. The amount of the allowance which may affects their
basis. It is one of the resources for buying the needs of each student. Most of the
students get their allowance from their parents and parents’ money earned as salary
from their work. Higher family income may have a good contribution in academic
performance, but for the responsible and serious students, low family income must not

advantages to afford the needs of students for academic performance; Low socioeconomic status
will have lower test score so socioeconomic status had the greatest impact on the test score. The
effect of socioeconomic status on students performance result revealed that parents education,
occupation and facilities at home affects the student achievement (Saifi and Memood, 2011).
One of the studies from a secondary school level revealed that socioeconomic status
(SES) and parents' education have a significant effect on students' overall academic achievement,
as well as achievement in the subjects of Mathematics and English. The achievement of students
is negatively correlated with the low SES level of parents because it hinders the individual in

similar conditions. According to Li-Grining (2007), research suggests that the problem
starts with the parents and their lack of education and understanding of the needs of
children. Many individuals who might have done this nation proud in different fields have
been forced into uninspired careers due to unavailability of finance resources. Such
individuals are forced to stay out of school and made to engage in hawking, selling
packaged drinking water and the like so as to save money for their school expenses. Most
of the time, they cannot afford instructional materials, and are always at the mercy of
examiners during the examination period. The persistence of this in life of an individual
of giving the allowance is another issue. Students who lived with their parents usually
receive their allowances daily or weekly. Students who move to study away from their
homes receive their weekly or monthly. Consider the cost in terms of time and
transactions charges when deciding the frequency of remitting allowance for children
Importance of Allowance

to enjoy the life without sacrificing comfort or taking a way from the experience (Frazier

properly but also thinking of the consequences in buying stuff that aren't essential.
Caldwell 2017 cited that budget is clearly the key to succeeding financially.
Students think that a way to pay for college is students loans, but there are other options
like scholarships, financially aid or work options. Some can take investigating and

According to Felipe (2007) “A lot of students seem to want what is the “in”
trend , what people are doing or using “right now”. Most teens will usually have one or
two sources of income, either allowance from their parents or a job. The answer to this
question is’nt found by looking at the income of the family or social status, it’s more a
way of living and rearing that the parents have given their children".

extent to which a student, teacher or institution has achieved their educational goals. Thus

It has been observed that the falling academic standards and the influencing
factors include the socio-economic background of the parent. Owing to the present
economic situation in the country, many poor parents are forced by circumstances to
saddle the young ones with chores like hawking wares, clearing the house and doing other
menial jobs around the house before going to school and after school hours. Domestic
chores like these no doubt help to train the children and make them realize that they can
and should contribute their own quota to the general upkeep of the family. However, when
parents and guardians burden their children with work excessively, leaving little or no
study time for their children, their school work is bound to suffer (Akanle 2007).
Literature points out that poor financial status affects academic performance,
mental and physical well-being, and even their ability to find employment after graduation
(Bodvarsson and Walker, 2004, p. 490; Lyons, 2003, p.70; Lyons, 2004, p. 28).
Through education, the students are able to learn specific skills, such as
literacy, quantitative abilities, problem solving, and logical reasoning, this contributes
towards the development of professional skills and abilities (Ford, 2011). The children
Bhat, Joshi, Wani (2016) supported the latter claim that socio-economic
status is the significant factor in academic achievement. Thus, the higher level of socio-
economic status shows a big contribution toward the quality of student achievement
(Farooq, Chaudry, Shafiq and Berhanu, 2011). Academic achievement carry out primary

In news article, Ocampo (2015) said that the students of a lower socio
economic status often face additional challenges including a dearth of learning resources,
difficult learning condition and poor motivation that negatively affect their academic
performances.
In the ABS CBN social media page, Duplito (2013) posted that students
maximizing a daily allowance take effort and discipline and may require small changes in
