Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the influences of parents’ income to pupils’ academic performance in public primary schools in western area urban District of Sierra Leone. The study targets an estimated number of (60) Parents, Teachers, and Pupils drawn from (5) Primary Schools in the Western Area Urban. A purposive sampling technique was used to examine the total population of parents, Teachers, and Pupils in the survey. The findings of the study reviled that the majority of the mothers are high-income employees followed by low-income employees and the minority are the middle business entrepreneurs and big business entrepreneurs. The findings further show that fathers with middle-class incomes made up the majority of the respondents. This implies that Parents' educational attainment has an impact on their children's performance. The Result reveals that majority of mothers work at high-paying employees; their high-earning can therefore afford the additional expenses associated with pupils' academic pursuits. like paying for school materials or purchasing books. The government through the Ministry of finance should provide a revolving loan at no interest rate to improve on the economic activities of parents to increase pupils academic performance. Keywords: Influences, parents’ income ,pupils’ academic performance, public primary schools in western area urban
