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.

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.
