Family Background, Parental Expectations, School Choice and Student Performance

Abstract

The aim of the study is to assess the effects of child-centered life orientation on children’s achievement levels, self-esteem, and parents’ school choice. The second question is related to the effects of the educational level of the mother and the economic status of the family on different child-related outcomes. The study points to the critical and positive influence of child-centered life orientation on higher achievement levels and selfesteem as well as being able to enter public and private selective schools, which admit students through national examinations. Furthermore, the educational level of the mother and the economic status of the home lead to non-overlapping outcomes, the educational level of the mother being related to more child-centered orientations, higher educational expectations for the child, and selective schools; while economic status being related to economic expectations and private non-selective schools.
