relationship between the socio economic status of parents and biology students'
academic achievements in selected secondary schools in Awgu local government
area of Enugu state Nigeria. The population for this study comprised all the
SS1 & 2 students in Enugu state. The sample consists of 200 students from 4
randomly selected schools. A questionnaire tagged socioeconomic questionnaire
and standardized test scores of Biology students served as instrument for the
study. Test re test method was used to determine the reliability and a
reliability coefficient of 0.84 was obtained. Data collections were analysed
using frequency, percentage mean and regression. The result revealed that there
is a significant relationship of family size, parents' income level, and
parent's educational qualification on biology students' academic achievements.

establish and equip more adult education centres for the training of illiterate
parents, and teachers should ensure cooperative atmosphere whereby students
