The Influence of Parental Absence on Academic Achievement: An Empirical Analysis
Abstract
Family plays a vital role in shaping the emotional, social, and academic development of students. This study investigates the impact of parental absence—due to divorce, employment, or geographical separation—on the academic performance of selected secondary students at Rufo de la Cruz Integrated School. Using a descriptive survey method, data were gathered from 60 randomly selected students aged 15–17. Findings reveal that 71.7% of respondents came from low-income households, with most experiencing disrupted emotional support due to absent parents. This absence significantly affected students’ motivation, concentration, and academic outcomes. The study underscores the importance of emotional stability and family involvement in promoting academic success and highlights the need for targeted support programs to assist students coping with parental absence.
