Abstract

Education is a process through which mankind transmits experience, new findings, and value accumulated over time to enable individuals and societies, to make all-around participation in the development process. The study was designed to assess the parental factors that affect students’ academic performance in Semera preparatory and secondary high school. The study used a cross-sectional study design by preparing a well-organized questionnaire and the source of the data was primary data which was done by direct contact with respondents. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the acquired data.. The sampling technique was stratified sampling method. The result of the study was obtained by using a frequency, histogram, hypothesis testing, and multiple linear regressions model. According to the findings, parents have a great contribution to the academic performance of the students (P-value = 000). In other words, the average mark of students can be predicted by parents asking the results of each examination of students, parents meeting homeroom teachers of the respondent, parent following up of respondent, family income of respondent, feeling the happiness of students, leisure time of students, family size of students. For this reason, parents should provide necessary materials to their students, motivate students using different methods that do not affect student's attitudes, give the advice to bring desired behavior of students, go to school and discuss educational and behavioral matters of their students with homeroom teachers and concerned bodies., and control and follow up their student's activities both inside and outside of school.
