THE ATTITUDE
OF PARENTS TOWARDS THE PRIMARY EDUCATION OF THEIR CHILDREN
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
of the Study
Primary
education is the foundation a child requires in his or her educational pursuit.
The quality of primary education a child get would determine his performance in
secondary school as well as tertiary level. It will equally affect his or her
life after school. As such the importance of primary education cannot be
overemphasis.
It is in
this regard that Malotyre and Clarkj (1996) opined that the attitude of parent
determine the quality of education their children or wards receive in primary
school. The positive attitude of parent have a positive impact on their
children performance and aspiration, help in raising knowledge and increasing
understanding and facilitate academic progress through the involvement of
parents in their children academic activities. On the other hand negative
attitude of parent towards their children education have a negative effect on
their academic progress leading to poor academic performance and consequently
the withdrawal of such children from school. This makes such children take to
street and become menace to the society later in life.
However,
Obodochi (2003) opined that most parent in the rural areas of Nigeria are
careless about the primary education of their children as such put up negative
attitude towards their children’s education at level. This is so because most
rural dwellers in Nigeria are more interested in achieving short term immediate
development of their children as such prefer sending their children to learn
vocational trade or assist them in farm work but parent in urban areas have a
positive attitude to education of their children and wards owing to their
perception about education and the value they attach to education and its
effect on the future of their children.
It is in
this regard that Wilkinson (1997) states that the perception of the value of
education to a large extent determines the attitude of parent towards their
children in Kwali Area Council Abuja.

the attitude of parents towards their children education in unsatisfactory and
remains a big impediment to primary education in the area understudy. This is

and enrolment in vocational trade during school hours. This is attributed to
myriad of vague problems ranging from poverty to cultural and religious
constraints as well as parents lost of faith in Western educational sequel to
the declining standard of education and the high rate of unemployed graduate
combing the street in search of jobs endlessly. Hence the attitude of most
parents towards the education of their children becomes questionable.
