To alleviate the prevailing problems, there is a need to improve economic condition of the parents, home environment and the location of the schools, and gender disparity between male and female. Therefore, it was suggested that Parents, North Showa Zone Education office and Oromia Education Bureau should be more practical in this area of improvement.The study outcomes are anticipated to make a significant contribution to increase our understanding of the problems.
