Abstract
This study examined the relationship between the home environments and academic achievement of senior secondary school students in English Language in Ogun-East Senatorial District, Ogun State, Nigeria. Six null hypotheses were tested in the study. The study adopted the descriptive research design of the ex-post-facto type. A sample of 850 Senior Secondary School two students in twenty public secondary schools were randomly selected using a multi-stage sampling procedure. Two research instruments were used for data collection. Findings showed the significant relative contribution of home environments of family income (β = 0.344; t = 10.889; p < 0.05) and parental educational background (β = 0.290; t = 9.244; p < 0.05) to academic achievement of senior secondary school students in the English Language in Ogun-East Senatorial District. The study concludes that family income and parental educational background positively relate to the academic achievement of Senior Secondary School students in the English Language. The study recommends among others that other avenues of income generation could be sought by parents to cushion the effect of the economy on their family while parents should give more attention to their children’s academic work since the role of the parents in their children’s academic achievement can never be underemphasised.
