| Abstract: | This study assessed the influence of gender and perceived
poverty on undergraduates’ educational life and academic
engagements in public universities in Ekiti State, Nigeria. 700
undergraduates perceived to be poor were purposively
selected. Data was collected using the “Poverty Factors
Questionnaire;” with sub-sections measuring perceived poverty
(α = 0.71), educational life (α = 0.86), and academic engage-
ments (α = 0.94) hosted on Google forms. Data was analyzed
using descriptive statistics, t-test, and correlation analysis.
Findings indicate that gender in favor of males significantly
contributed to undergraduates’ educational life, and engage-
ments; positive and significant relationship among undergrad-
uates’ perceived poverty, educational life and engagements.
Recommendations are made |
| Description: | This study aims to assess the influence of gender and perceived poverty on
undergraduates’ educational life and academic engagements at public univer-
sities in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Poverty remains a crucial and complex issue
affecting the global space (Zanky et al., 2023), a more reason it stands out as
the first agendum of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). As one of the
measures to alleviate poverty, access to education is perceived to be a crucial
human right and a key social policy for citizens in every society |
