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.

education is the foundation of education and is very vital to a child’s
educational development Okoh (2005).
But in spite

the attitude of parents towards their children education in unsatisfactory and
remains a big impediment to primary education in the area understudy. This is
evident in the high rate of street
hawking by children of primary school age 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.
