Nature versus nurture is an ongoing debate in education. Yet we cannot ignore the influence of the home in the education of the child. Mathematics can be one of the most indispensible and exciting subjects in the school curriculum. This paper attempts to see whether students’ acquisition of mathematics is related to their parents’ educational qualifications.
The population for the study consisted of Class eleven (XI) students in southern districts of West Bengal. The sample consisted of 784 students.
The Madhyamik Examination (under WBBSE) was used to assess the performance of mathematics. The finding indicated that higher parental qualifications were indeed advantageous to the performance in Mathematics.
