Background of the Study
Education is a fundamental right, yet children from low-income families often face significant obstacles in accessing quality education. In Arochukwu Local Government Area, Abia State, economic hardships and limited resources contribute to disparities in educational opportunities (Okechukwu, 2023). These challenges include inadequate school facilities, lack of learning materials, and insufficient support from both families and the community. Additionally, low-income households may prioritize immediate financial survival over educational investments, leading to high dropout rates and poor academic performance (Ifeoma, 2024). This study appraises the challenges encountered by children from low-income families, exploring factors such as socio-economic status, parental involvement, and institutional support. By examining both qualitative and quantitative data, the research aims to identify the key barriers to effective education in this context and propose strategies for mitigating these challenges (Adegoke, 2025). The study also considers the role of government policies and community initiatives in supporting vulnerable students, thereby contributing to a more equitable educational system.
