THE ROLE OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS AND IMPACT ON THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AT SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS OF DIMORIA BLOCK.

Abstract

This study explores the role of socio-economic status (SES) and its impact on the academic 
achievement of secondary school students in the Dimoria Block of Assam. The findings reveal 
that a significant majority of students belong to the Upper Lower SES category, with 60% of 
families earning less than ₹27,882 per month and 47% of fathers engaged in labor-intensive 
occupations. Although some improvement is observed in parental education levels, it is 
insufficient to elevate overall SES scores. The study highlights a clear correlation between lower 
socio-economic status and limited access to academic resources, which may adversely affect 
students' educational outcomes. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions 
and inclusive educational policies to support students from economically disadvantaged 
backgrounds.
