Statement of Problem
There are many problems with single parenting or broken homes which at the long run reflect on the performance of students in schools. Some of these problems are;

iii. Also, it has been observed that students from broken homes suffer some other problems such as non-provision of some basic material needs like non-provision of some basic materials needs like food, clothing and learning material
iv. In security, step parent do not show much love and affection to their step students. Thus, these students suffer from mental retardation, personality improvement and are always miserable. They show behavioral responses like lying, stealing, building and playing truant in school.
In view of this, the researcher is forced to wonder whether extra-relationship and financial problem could lead to broken home, and if broken homes, are they causes of decrease in the performance of students in schools. In that, a closer look at the turn out of secondary school graduates.
