ABSRACT Generally the researcher set out to collect the data findings on "The effects of socio-economic
status on the student's academic achievements in selected secondary schools in Buwama division
Mpigi district Uganda."
Objectively the study aimed at finding out the effects of socio-economic status on the student's
academic achievements in selected secondary schools in Buwama division in Mpigi district
Uganda. This has been done with the help of quantitative and qualitative research methods. The
following were highlighted as being the main effects of socio- economic status that affects
academic performance of students in secondary schools.
Poor health that leads physical inability to work, Poor planning, poor administration and
Mobilization, High dependency ratios, Low rate of savings High poverty and increasing,
unemployment, Unfair trade terms or lack of market for agric products, Uneconomic
achievements and income inequality, Home-family environment, Value and attitude towards
achievements, Uneconomic achievements and income inequality
These effects have much more resulted from causes because there cannot exist the effects without
their causes. We must therefore note that the effects of socio-economic status are more of
negative effects as opposed to positive ones.
The following are possible solutions towards these effects of social economic status.
The government, should provide capital inform of loans after proper sensitization. Borrowed
loans should be used to generate the income and at the same time to eradicate socio economic
effects among the people living in Buwama subdivision in Mpigi district, Uganda
We can now successfully conclude that the effects of social economic status on the student's
academic achievements are several but the researcher decided specifically to deal on those major
effects resulted from the causes. But the question to be continuously researched on in future is
that of availing enough resourceful information concerning this aspect so as to avoid the scarcity
of resources to finance education, another one is how to contiunue addressing the challenges of
those victims who once were affected with effects of socio-economic status. The challenge at
the moment is how to help those students from low income homes. Another one is how
might the teacher help a school_ of a kind to improve on the academic performance, lastly
is how to ensure that the students become more positive about their chances for
