Abstract

This study examines the relationship between parental socio-economic status (SES) and children's educational outcomes in secondary schools. A sample of 500 students from 10 public secondary schools in a local government area was selected using a simple random sampling technique. The study reveals that parental SES, employment, and family size significantly impact children's educational attainment. Based on the findings, the study recommends that parents control family size, prioritize education, and pursue better job opportunities to improve their children's educational outcomes. Additionally, the government is advised to promote family planning and education sensitization programs.
