CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Mothers are the first educationist children should know before Primary and secondary education which is the foundation a child requires in his or her educational pursuit. The quality of education a child gets firstly at home from the mother would determine his performance in primary and secondary school as well as tertiary level. It will equally affect his or her life after school. As such the importance of education cannot be overemphasis in children because they mother is working and neglects her duty to the children and face work which is a secondary affect of child aid development in a family.
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 school. The positive attitude of a working class mother 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 effect of working class mothers 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 work as first in the family and low concern, late return from work. mates does all job 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.
