Statement of the Problem
While literature on the relationship between parental divorces has focused on school going children’s drop out, it is silent on the role of teachers and community members in minimizing the negative effects on off parental divorce on school going children. Because the increasing rate of dropout has affected the government and family social economic abilities, it is important to consider teachers and community members’ role in minimizing the effects of parental divorces on school going children. This study intended to fill this gap in the literature. Studies such as those of Andrew1981; Harold et al., 2007; Cummings & Davies 1994; Turner & Koplec, 2006) were done in USA with a focus on nuclei family. Not much has been done in Africa where most families still have the elements of communal and extended families.
