There are different types of cultural factors which can be seen affecting learning of children.
Various social factors impacting learning also include the pressure from peer of learning in a

their behaviour and attitudes towards their learning process. If a learner is indulged in with
people who are skipping classes it may also affect their learning ability. Whereas if a learner is
indulge with people who are successfully attending all the classes and paying attention in
learning the same will be reflected by a learner (Udvari-Solner and Thousand, 2018).

abilities in a learner as the learners are brought up in a way to understand the importance of
learning. When looking on the other side the cultures which are not supporting education find it
difficult to understand the importance of learning. The three major factors which are affecting
learners significantly through culture which are collaboration, communication and cooperation.
