INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

In one's life, education is a crucial issue. It is the answer to future success

and having a lot of opportunities in life. People can benefit much from education.

In other words, education teaches us how to live a successful and fulfilling life. It

also teaches us how to think, work, and make decisions (Bano, 2015).

On the other hand, poverty is the greatest enemy of all people and poverty

leads to devastation, (Bano, 2015). One of the most common measures of

academic achievement in today's schools is poverty. It is crucial that teachers are

aware of how poverty affects children' behavior and ability to learn in the

classroom as the number of pupils raised in poverty rises, (McKenzie, 2019).

Ndaruhutse (2008) illustrated that within countries in sub-Saharan Africa most

financially poor students are made to repeat a grade due to low academic

performance, and this has greatly influenced to increasing school dropout rates.

However, even though families are free of paying tuition, there are still

extra expenses related to education such as those for uniforms, books, supplies,

and/or test fees and poor families frequently have to choose between providing

their child's basic needs and sending them to school (Rodriguez, 2020). (Furr

and Elling, 2000) says that there are many reasons why students take a part-time

job. One of those reasons is financial problems, it become mostly reasons of

some students forced to take part time job.


There are many obligations that come when you are a working student.

They encounter numerous challenges that occasionally lead them to think about

giving up, so it is obvious that it takes a lot of work and an investment of their

mental and physical energy that can quickly lead to tiredness, stress, or both.

(Becker, 1965). Moreover, Abenoja et al. (2019) found out that studying while

working is undoubtedly tough because it requires managing your social life,

family time, school, and work.

being a working student on the results of various studies conducted, the study on
