Family Income Level: A family's financial status influences a number of
factors that can help or hinder a child in gaining an education. Wealthy

Parents' Level of Education: Parents' education level directly correlates to
the importance and influence of education in their children's lives.
Educated parents can assess a son or daughter's academic strengths
and weaknesses to help that child improve overall academic
performance.

for girls and women but limit the content of the education or skew the
education to prepare them for a limited number of social roles.
