The Academic Success Among the Students of Low-Income Families.

Abstract

Students’ academic success is often impacted by various factors such as family background, socio-economic status, and access to educational resources. However, students from low-income families face unique challenges that hinder their academic achievement. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively analyze these challenges and identify potential strategies to support the academic success of these students. The study began by examining the impact of poverty on the educational outcomes of students. It will evaluate how economic hardships, limited access to resources like textbooks and technology, and unstable living conditions may impact their academic performance. A qualitative research design was used in the study to understand how the expected result of academic success among students from low-income families can vary based on individual circumstances. However, research and studies will show that there are potential challenges that students from low-income families may face that can impact their academic success. These challenges may include limited access to educational resources, such as textbooks or technology, lower-quality schools, inadequate nutrition, less parental involvement, and increased exposure to stressful home environments. This research intends to investigate the above issues and to provide recommendations for Policymakers to focus on increasing the availability and affordability of educational resources, such as providing free textbooks or laptops to low-income students. Additionally, interventions that target the socio-emotional well-being of students, such as counseling services or mentorship programs, should be implemented.
