Abstract

This study examined the relationship between access to home amenities and students' achievement at the secondary level. Data was gathered from 340 students with different access levels to basic home amenities such as electricity and more sophisticated facilities like personal computers and the Internet. Regression analysis was applied to find a relationship between students' access to amenities and academic achievement, with an approximate 3% change in academic performance explained by resource availability at home. The beta value was negative (-0.174), indicating that despite the importance of access to amenities, other factors must play a more significant role: family income, parental involvement, and socio-economic context would all likely significantly influence academic success. The findings highlight the necessity of adequate support programs and policies for educational inequalities, especially in poor households. The research suggests increasing access to technology, developing all-rounded student support systems, and improving parental involvement for academic success among students from different socio-economic backgrounds.
