Sound interesting does it not? Yeah, you know regardless what kind of performance student delivers in their own education institution, there is always a home background that affecting the performance. 

This journal focused on Secondary School Students in Onicha Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. There are 200 respondents (170 students and 30 staff). 

The abstract of the journal has stated clearly that home background indeed affecting student's educational performance. Yup, like just writer said before, student's performance whether they excellent or struggling during learning, there always a background who affecting it. For example, a child who has enough with his family poverty, he hates poverty that is happening in his family. He wants to make sure his child and his family shall no suffer from such poverty anymore, thus he decided the only proper way to get out of poverty is to study excellently. 

Well not only family situation that affects child educational development, but also family members around him could also affect their development. Children would always seeking for a role model, either it would be his mom, fater, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, brother, sister. If by any chance, they could give a positive influence towards the children; children may have a greater chance to be excel academically. 

Also, this journal stated that from various sources that: 

• Socio-Economy of parents could affect student's educational development (Ajila and Olutola, 2007; Umaifo, 2012)
• There are many factors that could affect student's performance (Ozmert, 2007) 
• Mostly students who study at secondary public school mostly originated from poor and average family (Hussain, 2006) 

Well that is all for this introduction, writer hopes it would be enough to increase your curiosity in this journal. Next week, we are going to talk about journal's methodology. So, stay tune and have a special day!
