Determinants of Percentage Achievements of Public Primary School Students in Northern Pakistan

Abstract

This study probes the socio-economic and school background factors that may affect students' marks in primary schools in northern Pakistan. The data was collected from four parts of the province. The result confirms that free lunch is an influential academic booster if provided to lower groups of students; in some cases, the school is away from students. Adequate staff and adequate funds, too, have elevating effects on marks. Male parents are a means of more academic gain for male students and less for females. Internet at home is a better option. Recommendations are delineated at the end.
