ABSTRACT
The study examined the influence of socioeconomic background on the academic achievement of students in selected public secondary schools in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State. The stratified sampling technique was used to select 120 students from five public schools, while the simple random sampling technique was used to administer the questionnaire (pre and post-test). Also, data on student’s academic achievement was obtained from student’s scores in four selected subjects. Data obtained was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The result revealed that parental socioeconomic background significantly influenced students’ academic achievement; as students whose parents had better jobs and higher levels of educational attainment and who were exposed to more educational and cultural resources at home tended to perform better than their counterparts without such opportunities. The study identified parental occupation as the main predictive variable influencing student’s academic achievement. However, increase in parental salaries in line with the current economic situation as well as the provision of adequate books and facilities in schools to breach the gap between the rich and the poor are recommended in order to improve the academic achievement of students.
