academic performance. Some are home, school, teacher, and student factors. Most
of the factors are home related such as family size, financial burden, parental

“Social media platforms are a significant factor that is commencing to distress and
obstacle of mind. These days students tend to lose their concentration from
studying and instead enjoy browsing on social media. All of this conveys to
wastage of time without getting anything from it. Students are often incapable of
submitting their work in the specified time frame because they are more
concentrated on applying social media platforms”.

They should effect their presence and availability in times that the learners need
their presence. They should support and sustain the studies of their children

that students must feel so that they will be inspired to go further in their studies.”

work.” (2018)

motivation and engagement of learners on activities in all learning areas, close
monitoring on learners performances and remedial activities and intervention
should be facilitated taking into consideration the diversity of learners.” (2020)
