Why Impoverished Children Do Well in Ugandan Schools.
Heyneman, Stephen P.
Comparative Education, v15 n2 p175-85 Jun 1979
This study correlated socioeconomic status as measured by parents' education and material prosperity, with academic achievement and self-confidence scores in 2293 Ugandan students. Self confidence did not correlate to socioeconomic status, as it has been found to do in industrialized societies. Possible reasons for this difference are considered. (SJL)
