Abstract

The study of predictors of variability in educational performance aims to ascertain the impact of specific variables on individuals' learning outcomes within a particular context. While extensive research exists on the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) and school characteristics on academic achievement, much of the literature stems from samples in Western industrialized regions and primarily focuses on variables such as mathematics, reading, and science.
