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
