The Impact Of Family Neglect On Academic Failure: A Field Study At Tahiri Abdel Rahman Secondary School, Djelfa

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of family neglect on academic failure among students at Tahiri Abdel Rahman Secondary School in Djelfa. It aims to identify the role of family involvement in the educational process, determine the family-related causes of academic failure, and highlight the importance of communication between families and schools to mitigate this issue. Employing a descriptive approach, the study conducted a comprehensive survey of 42 failing students using a questionnaire and statistical analysis. The findings indicate that family neglect, in its educational, psychological, and parental dimensions, is not the primary cause of academic failure; rather, the reasons are largely tied to students' personal and psychological factors. The study recommends raising parental awareness about the importance of ongoing communication with schools, educating them on modern parenting methods through various media, and enhancing communication channels between families and schools to support students and improve their academic performance.
