- Abstract
Parents give lives to their children; they biologically determine the quality of intelligence of their children even at birth. The socio-economic background of the parents exposes the children to after birth factors that help in nourishing or malnourishing the children. The type of education a child gets, how he gets it, where he gets it, why he gets it, when he gets are all fuelled by the parents’ socio economic factors. This paper examines the emergence of e-learning in Nigeria, the factors associated with its operations, its role in giving the desired level of education to the people and how socio economic background of the parents have affected the performance of students in e-learning education. The study made use of 230 students in e-learning classes, the performances of the randomly selected students were examined vis a vis their parental socio-economic background. The data collected were analyzed using ANOVA at (0.05 alpha level) and the result revealed a significant effect of parents’ socio-economic background on students’ performance in e-learning education. The study recommends among other things a re-orientation of parents on their roles in determining the future of their children.
