Keywords:
Poverty, Students Learning, Secondary School, Economical IssuesAbstract
This study investigates the influence of poverty on students' learning outcomes at the secondary school level, focusing on the district of Muzaffargarh. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data was gathered through a questionnaire administered to 200 teachers across secondary schools, with a total of 996 8th-grade students participating from the district. Two primary research questions were addressed: 1) the impact of social and emotional issues on student learning, and 2) the impact of low academic achievement. The questionnaire's validity and reliability were ensured through expert opinion and Cronbach Alpha scores during the pilot phase in Muzaffargarh district. Analysis of the collected data revealed significant findings. Notably, female students in Tehsil Chowk Munda exhibited a superior performance by 23.95% compared to their counterparts in Tehsil Jatoi, where the performance margin was 11.59%. These results underscore the differential effects of poverty on academic outcomes, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to address disparities and enhance educational equity among students facing socioeconomic challenges.
