Impacts on Student Learning and Academic Achievement

Education is the most important part of life to uphold intelligence and human can increase knowledge through which an individual move the world for good and sinful on the basis of his wishes. Education, in fact, is one of the major life processes of human beings, as there are other vital processes to live likewise education, are also a vital process in every aspect of human life. (Ahmer. F & Anwer. E, 2013). There are many factors which effects on students learning and academic achievement including student performance, teacher role, family support, school environment, peer relationship and the most important factor is the socioeconomic status of parents. As stated by Mehmood and Saifi (2011), “socioeconomic status is a combined measure of an individual’s or family’s economic and social position relative to others, based on income, education, and occupation.”  The home environment is affected by the factors such as parent’s education, occupation, income, and facilities provided to their children. All these factors together can be defined by a single term the “socioeconomic status” (SES) of parents. So we can say that the socioeconomic status of parents affects the performance, learning and academic achievement of students.
