abstract: 'A child''s educational achievements are based on multiple factors,

  including their family, their family''s behavior, socioeconomic status,

  their behavior toward their parents, etc. The main objective of the

  study is to establish the relationship between the socioeconomic

  background of the children and their educational achievements and how it

  impacts their psychology. A descriptive survey research design was used

  to conduct this study. The target population was 50 students and either

  of their parents. The target was selected through random sampling. Focus

  group discussions, in-depth interviews, and different types of

  observation techniques were implied while collecting the data. The study

  concluded that most of the students with low socioeconomic status had

  poor achievements in their academics, which led them into the labor

  market at an early age. It has been found that parents with low

  socioeconomic backgrounds were less interested in educating their

  children. Kids from low socioeconomic backgrounds are more focused on

  employment instead of pursuing their studies after completing their

  secondary education. Such students end up in unskilled or blue-collar

  jobs. This study recommends free-of-cost vocational and technical

  education to such children to provide them with better livelihood

  opportunities. There is a need for parental education and awareness

  programs as well conducted by schools/universities and other concerned

  authorities.'
