The family, being a powerful influence on the child’s development and important primary agent of socialization could in no doubt enhance or hinder the academic achievement of the child depending on the social climate in the family.

It was found out that age, sex, grade level, number of siblings, and person stays with has no direct influence to the pupils’ behavioral development, and however, academic success of the pupils depends on their behavior development. This study concluded that the attitude and behavior of the learner affects their academic success.
