The increasing prevalence of single parent households has sparked growing interest in understanding their impact on children's academic outcomes. This study explores whether children raised by single parents encounter distinct challenges in achieving academic success compared to their peers from dual-parent families. Drawing on existing literature and empirical studies, the research identifies key factors such as economic constraints, limited parental involvement, emotional stressors, and social stigma that may affect academic performance. It also investigates the role of external support systems, including school-based interventions, community programs, and government policies, in mitigating these challenges. The paper suggested the introduction of counselling, mentoring, and after-school tutoring specifically designed for students from single-parent households. Organize workshops and training sessions for single parents on academic monitoring, emotional support, and time management strategies. The paper recommended that schools should identify vulnerable students and provide free tutoring, school supplies, and academic monitoring. Guidance counselors should be trained to offer emotional support for children dealing with family-related stress.
