INTRODUCTION
The extend of parental interest and involvement in school and vocational activities relates positively to their children achievements. Adams (2012) he further stated that home environment that encourages learning is more important to students than income level of education of parents and cultural background of the parents. In Nigeria, girls access to education, especially in northern state, has remained very low.
National school census (NSC, 2006) reveals a net enrollment proportion (19%) of primary school age population (6-11 years) is not enrolled in primary schools nationwide. In Kaduna State, the number of children out of school is high and the proportion of girls to boys ranges from one girl to two boys most especially in the rural communities (Adie, 2012).
In educational and economic studies, it has been found that parental background such as family size, family type, family income, location (rural or urban) and parental education are determinants of the amount and quality of education children receive over their life time. (Dokubo, 2014).
