MAIN BODY
Socioeconomic status or condition encompasses that just not come from education attainment for
securing their financial status but it also used for maintain social status. It is mainly depending
on the quality of life, opportunities and privilege affordable for people within society. especially,
it is considered for increasing level of poverty and type of single factors. Socioeconomic status
affects overall human functionality so that it can be decreased the GCSE result or outcome. In
context of education, children from low socioeconomic status and communities that develop
academic skill slower than children from higher groups (Hadden and Easterbrook, 2019). For
instances, Low-socioeconomic status children is related to the poor language, memory,
emotional processing and cognitive development. The different type of school system in low-
socioeconomic status communities are often underresourced which is negatively affecting on the
student progress and GCSE result. In most of cases, inadequate education increased the dropout
rate which directly affect on the children’s achievement. As per situation, it will require for
improving the school system that may help for reducing different risk factors. It also increased
the research on relation between socioeconomic status and GCSE (General certificate secondary
education). There is disagreement over the better way to identify socio-economic status and
found that children from low socio-economic background where they do not performance well in
secondary education however, it also comparison pupils from different socio-economic
3

background to reach the actual conclusion. Another way to consider the dimension factors that
may influence the educational result or outcome within socioeconomic brands. One of most issue
among different educational professional that always build correlation between socio-economic
status of pupils and academic achievement (Hutchings and Francis, 2018). As move towards
prevalent argument on socioeconomic condition that has a major impact GCSE outcome. It also
creates the negative effects on overall functionality of human for mentally or physically so that
they are not able to perform in secondary education. The lack of confidence level on student may
have affected in their education result. Low socio-economic condition with coupled with the high
rate of maternal as well as paternal difference of children’s academic needs. It has thrown many
rural dwellers into generate untold financial issues and problems such as lack of money, high
poverty rate and resources for children. This type of situation has promoted the young school
pupils. Hence, most of pupils have taken admission for school as a secondary education. As a
result, for generating poor academic GCSE result or outcome.
The trend is posing huge problem for parents, stakeholders and government in context of
education. Economic and social components are performed significant role in socio-economic
condition because it may influence on the General certificate secondary education (GCSE)
outcomes. While both are necessary for understanding overall situation and condition of
inequality. In this way, it can be argued that families where they are advantages in educationally
and higher the level of achievement in students (Vitello and Crawford, 2018). It may need to
support for children in terms of psychological by creating healthy environment that encourage
their own skill and capability. It continues to asserts that educational level and income of parents
which are directly interconnected with each other.
Currently, it is increasing children’s risk for developing health problem in order to give the
better understanding and also concerned about the low socioeconomic condition. This type of
problem is considered main cause that directly affects on the GCSE results. Socioeconomic is a
type of concept that summaries an individual’s position in society and community. Thus, it
become easier to demonstrate the economic position in context of education aspects. SES
indicator provide the brief idea where how it easily influences the strong children’s mental
situation and their well-being. Furthermore, socioeconomic condition is highly interacting with
different factors which always influence towards children’s development (de Moira, Meadows
and Baird, 2019). For Example- The lower socioeconomic condition can adversely influence the
4

child development in context of cognitive domains and behavioral perspectives. Therefore, it
may include the social support, parental functioning, mental health condition and parental
resources.
