CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1     Background to the Study

The educational pursuit of every child is relatively determined by the pattern of family or home he or she comes from. Be it wealthy or poor, educated or otherwise, traditional belief or aspirations. Parents who failed in their responsibilities to assist and guide their wards through every stage of development in life may likely have to contend with poor academic performance sooner or later and the development of unwholesome behaviours, as foundation to the successor failures in any child is laid upon the home and at the initial stage in life. Parents therefore have a great role to play in seeing to it that the students acquire the appropriate social, psychological, moral and academic development. Those found in this category are mostly adolescents who needed to be tutored not only by the teachers but with combined efforts of the parents.

In Nigeria, there are widespread cases of single-parenthood across all regions and tribes which has become a major source of concern to the socio-economic and socio-cultural development. Single parenting can be defined as a situation in which one of the individual involved in the conception of the child is being responsible for the upbringing of the child (Henshin, 1985). This idea is relatively unknown before now in Nigeria but is fast growing family patterns both inside and outside the shores of the land (Nwachukwu, 1998). Children from single parent homes are likely to suffer deprivation, and denial of some rights and opportunities. They are more exposed to antisocial behaviours and poor academic records.
