The table 4 above shows that the educational attainment had a computed r-

value of 5. 04 and critical value of .99 which reveals that was not significant. The

economic status had a computed r - value of 11. 97 and critical value of 74 which leads

also to verbal interpretation of not significant.

This is contradicted to the study of Farooq, et. al 2018 concluded that students

whose parents are educated score higher on standardized tests than those whose

parents were not educated. Educated parents can better communicate with their

children regarding school work, activities and the information being taught at school.

They can better assist their children in their work and participate at school and Memon,

et. al. 2015 stated that wealth of family is of paramount importance if the family is

wealthy, children’s needs whether academic or otherwise will be met easily without

much stress but where the family poor , the academic need of the children will be met

easily, this goes a long way to affect child performance negatively.
