Abstract
The study focused on Influence of the Economic Status of Families on the Academic Achievement of Junior Secondary Students in English in Umuahia South Local Government Area of Abia State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey was used to study a population of 9,550 families. A sample size of 350 parents was selected for the study through simple random sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire entitled “Influence of Family Economy on Students’ Academic Achievement (IFESAA). Instrument for data analysis were mean and standard deviation. Findings revealed that family economic status and polygamy influenced students’ academic achievement between the year 2018 and 2022 in Umuahia South Local Government Area of Abia State. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the voting populace should be properly educated on their voting rights, and the need to use their voting power to install governments that would pay attention to education which is one of the commonest social services any government can give to her citizens; and that the Abia State Orientation Agency should be properly positioned to carry out grass root orientation on the negative economic impact of breeding too many children than one can maintain.
