| dc.description.abstract | Every social group or society has expectations of bow its members should behave. Thus, every family, clan, town or country expects its member to behave in accepted ways of life. The same is true of students in Secondary Schools, the way Muslims pray in a mosque, the way Christians are worshipping in a church and so on. Each of these groups has way of socialising the new members to enable them behave in an accepted way. This process is carried out either consciously or unconsciously through some agents of socialisation. These agencies include people and groups that influence selfconcepts, emotions, attitudes and behavior of a person. Socialisation can occur outside of these agents but society relies on these agents doing most of the socialization. These agents an classified into two vise-primary and secondary. The primary agents include family and peer group while the secondary agents include school, religions institutions, mass media, the working place, clubs and the entin society. For many years, educational researchers have maintained an interest in the effective prediction of students’ academic achievement at school The prediction and explanation of academic achievement and the examination of the factors relating to the academic achievement are topics of greatest importance in different educational levels. Studies have shown that prior academic performance is an important predictor of achievement at other levels if education. Similarly, cognitive ability was found as the strongest predictor of academic achievement. Therefore,for the purpose of this research work the researchers derided to concentrate on three agents which include family, school and mass media due to the bulkiness of the literature as null as time constraint.
