Poverty is human condition
characterized by hunger and malnutrition, poor health, lack of access to safe
drinking water and sanitation, lack of participation in education, lack of
marketable skills, insecurity and vulnerability. These hardships have
subsequent resulted in high scale of poverty.
To look at the majority of the people

to low income and hunger, only few people have opportunity to acquire
education, health care services. These hardships have led to child abandonment,
reducting in life expectancy of most adult and increase in crime.
There have been theories in support
of poverty, these theories explains the main reason why few people are rich and
why some or majority of the masses are poor, such theories include the social
Darwinian theory of poverty. The theory which emerged within sociology and
explain in term of the behaviours and attitudes of the poor themselves.
The poorer are poor because they did
not work hard, they squandered money on ambition, no inner call to work, were
fatalistic and suffered from an in educability. The theory also emphasis that
the intelligence quotient of the poor is low that is they have low mental
capacity and biologically destined to be poor.
The influence of poverty on academic
performance of secondary school student in economic depends on the specific
syndrome of poverty that grows in some situation, which requires an economic
setting of cash economy, a high rate of unemployment and under employment, the
low wages and people with low skill in the absence of voluntary or state
support and stable family, the low income population intends to develop the
culture of poverty against the dominant ideology of accumulation of the middle
class.
The situational theory of poverty
holds that the poor behave differently because they do adopt the middle class
lifestyles. Young people have few opportunities to go to college and so they
drop out because of poverty.
However, poverty can also influence
academic performance among the students in a serious ways for instance a
student, who is not nourished well will find it in capable and parent will
unable to five students sound education due to their poverty which contribute
to make student drop from the school then number of illiteracy in the society
