Abstract

Home and school are the main institutes for providing the child's primary socialization and laying the educational foundation for them. The child's overall life has a significant relationship with the home environment. Therefore, the present study was carried out in District Toba Tek Singh to investigate the effect of the home environment on the academic achievement of secondary school students. The study was descriptive in nature and a sample of 330 respondents was chosen through a proportionate sampling technique. The data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire after checking the reliability and validity of the instrument. The collected data were analyzed using computer-generated software SPSS (Statistical packages for Social Sciences) in the form of mean, standard deviation, and percentage. Most of the respondents who participated in the study belong to a rural area, having graduation level of education, occupation is business and employment. The study finds that children from higher income-status and upper-working class homes perform better academically than those from lower income-status and lower-working class homes.
