The purpose of this investigation was to determine sociopoli
tical factors related to students' attitude towards school.
A questionnaire was compiled based on the literature study and
was completed by 306 students doing standards eight, nine and ten
at a secondary school in Benoni.
Five socio-political factors were identified, namely: school
experience, extrinsic motivation, pedagogical deprivation,
political socialisation and school administration.
The empirical study revealed:
* A positive attitude towards school by the research group.
* Significant correlations between attitude towards school
and the five independent variables.
* No significant difference in attitude towards
school of: boys and girls, standard eight, nine and ten
students and students staying with parents or with
guardians.
* The maximum variance in attitude towards school
explained by a combination of variables is 43.2%.
Recommendations are made for the enrichment of the family and
school environments and areas of possible future research
