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.
1.2 Statement of Problem
Primary education is the
foundation of education and is very vital to a child’s educational
development Okoh (2005). But in spite of the importance of primary
education to children’s educational development, 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. It is against this, that the

their children is seen as a problem worthy of being study. As such the
search light is on Kwali Area Council Abuja.
