A STUDY TO EVALUATE THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENT'S SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS IN CHINA

Abstract

This quantitative study looks at how kids' academic performance is correlated with their parents' socioeconomic level (SES). A greater parental socioeconomic status is positively associated with their children's academic success. As a whole, 406. More resources, better classroom settings, and more family support are available to students from higher socioeconomic backgrounds. Parents' degree of education has a major influence; children of more educated parents tend to do better in school. Studying the relationship between parents' socioeconomic status (SES) and their children's college success is the driving force behind this study project in China. The primary objective of this research is to determine how factors such as students' socioeconomic situation, level of education, employment, and family history impact their academic success in college. Researchers in China surveyed parents and kids at several schools using a mixed-methods strategy. While indices of socioeconomic status included factors like family income, parental education level, and employment type, grade point averages quantified academic success. Qualitative interviews were conducted with students to get a deeper understanding of their perceptions on the impact of their parents' socioeconomic status on their academic success. Parents' degree of education and family income are significant indicators of their children's academic achievement, and students from wealthier backgrounds often outperform their less fortunate peers. Parents' emotional and financial support has a significant impact on their children's academic achievement, according to the study. These results suggest that socioeconomic status is not the only factor influencing academic success; other important factors include personal motivation and institutional support.
