Submitted in accordance with the requirements of the degree of
MASTER OF EDUCATION in the Department of SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION of the
UNIVERSITY OF ZULULAND, 1995. / This study has investigated the relationship between lodging at private homes by some students, and their educational performance.
The researcher is of the opinion that the social environment of lodger homes creates conditions that do not help the educational efforts of the students.
The historical background in this study has identified social, economic, political as well as school factors as contributing to the history of lodging. The literature review has shown that these factors can positively or negatively affect the educational efforts of the students.
The responses to the questionnaire revealed that students at lodger homes are left to themselves. Lodger students do not enjoy parental support, care motivation and encouragement which would enhance their educational efforts.
In the light of the findings, the study recommends that the problems surrounding lodger students be tackled.
