IntroductionWhen we talk about poverty, we always associate poverty with poor living conditions or low standards of living. Poverty is a problem that exists all over the world, particularly in developing countries. We know about the problems of poverty by reading newspapers and watching television. In general, poverty is known as the lack of money, food and shelter. But different people's perception of poverty is different. In Malaysia, as a developing country, poverty is an inevitable problem. Poverty increases when the standard of living increases. As we all know, many families cannot meet their basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter. Therefore, they face many different problems and challenges to survive. According to some views, the rich live in urban areas and the poor live in rural areas. On the other hand, poverty is linked to villages. The public community views people who live in villages as poorly educated and low-income. They engage in agriculture, aquaculture and agricultural sector. At the same time, the commitment of these sectors still remains that of the small scale and small exploitation. Additionally, families live in a minimal standard of living due to their low earning capacity. Due to low educational attainment, family income is unstable and low. However, a poor family has consequences on their children, particularly on their academic success. If we make a comparison between rich and poor students, rich students always achieve higher academic results. It is clear that family financial background plays an important role in children's academic success. Education is considered important for the future of students. Perform well middle of paper......breakfast is not necessary, instead save parents' money to buy breakfast. As a result, these students attend schools in hungry conditions. Due to this situation, they are unable to concentrate or even concentrate in their studies. Fatigue and hunger cause them to have poor concentration in their studies. However, poor families cannot help them with their studies or revisions due to low education or lack of knowledge. In order to improve their academic performance, sending their children to tuition classes will be the best choice. But also, financial problem, the payment of tuition fees is taken into account. On the other hand, poor families strongly encourage their children to work rather than study. It is a solution to the financial problems of families through the financial support of their children. In this case, it is more difficult for students to find a balance between study and work. Education was ignored by their family.
