| Summary: | This paper discusses factors relating to the academic achievement of
Standard One pupils in a school situated in a small town in West
Malaysia. The academic records of 144 Standard Three pupils while
they were in Standard One were analysed. The dependent variable was
test scores obtained at the end of Standard One. Independent variables
were race, family income, mothers' education {years of schooling) and
fathers' education. Regression was used to analyse data. Findings
showed that race {Indian) was negatively associated with achievement.
Mothers' education {6-12 years) and Indian mothers' education
contribute positively towards achievement. The findings suggest that
more need to be done by all parties to improve the education of poor
pupils particularly that of the Indian community. |
