Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 1
Abstract
This conceptual paper studies the relationship between parental cultural and religious beliefs and students‟ dropout from government secondary schools of Zamfara, Nigeria. The paper reviews the studies on relationship between parental cultural and religious beliefs and students‟ dropouts. In addition, the paper also examines literature related to parental cultural and religious beliefs and students‟ dropout from government secondary schools in both Nigeria and other countries. The discussion in the paper is based on the theoretical framework of ecological theory of Bronfenbrenner (1979). This theory is appropriate for the study because it allows the reader to understand how children‟s education is significantly affected by the parental cultural and religious beliefs. Finally, the paper provides and presents some suggestions and recommendations on how to improve student‟s retention and minimize the problem of dropout. Conclusions from the literature were drawn, and the paper concludes that parental cultural and religious beliefs are related to students‟ dropout.
