Abstract
This study evaluates the relationship between parental education level and students' academic performance in Biology among secondary school students. It adopted an Ex-Post Facto research design to assess whether students with more educated
parents (secondary/tertiary education) perform better in Biology compared to those whose parents have only primary or no formal education. A sample of 100 students was randomly selected from Iyoba College, Egor Local Government Area, Edo State. The instrument for data collection was the student data collection form. It was developed by the researcher and validated by the
researcher's supervisor as well as two other lectures from the department of CIT. The instruments were administered directly by the researcher. The student’s biology score was obtained from the school’s diary with the permission of the school principal. Their academic performance in Biology was analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, and frequency counts.
