Explore the effects of socio-economic factors on educational outcomes, referencing Bomfenbrenner's model and the Coleman Report. Regression models and outlier analysis are used to study the influence of employment, technology access, poverty levels, and household goods. Spatial statistics and Geographically Weighted Regression reveal insights from studies in various locations. For inquiries, contact Dr. Arulsivanathan Naidoo at aruln@statssa.gov.za.

  6. Bomfenbrenner (1979): defined four contributing groups to school performance • Macro Level – Education Department, OBE, CAPS • Meso Level – School funding, Teachers qualification, • Micro Level – Individual Students, attendance, homework • Exo Level – Socio- Economic Factors in the Community/ School feeder areas • Levels of Poverty • Level of Employment • Access to Basic Services • Household goods A useful definition of Socio economic status (SES) is: “Relative position of a family or individual on a hierarchal social structure based on their access to, or control over wealth, prestige and power” Willms 2004.

  7. Coleman Report The Coleman Report on equality of education opportunities was commissioned by the United States Congress 1966 to investigate the poor school performance of African American students. The study comprised a sample of 4000 schools across the United States of America (Coleman et al. 1966). The report found that the learner’s personal and family characteristics were major contributing influences on the students’ performance rather than the characteristics of the schools they attended.
