A sample of 297 respondents comprising secondary school students was selected and administered questionnaires while 50 parents whose children attend either of the selected schools were interviewed. Data was presented using frequency tables, charts, code grounding quotation tables and conceptual diagram. The study revealed that family socio economic status has an impact on students' motivation to learn.
