In rural areas, families are one factor that determines the performance of children. In this study, rural students were lower in performance as they were related to parents' education compared to urban students. In urban areas, most parents in rural areas have less education than their parents. Family career is the most important and important factor in determining learner's academic performance (Adell, 2002: 91). In this survey, when parents' expectations for education is low, we found that rural parents do not have the pressure to act well. In rural areas, most parents do not mind the child's academic performance, but parent encouragement has a positive impact on the child's grades. Some experts believe parental expectations are the most influential factor affecting young people 's decision education (Esterman & Hedlund, 1995; Smith, Beaulieu, & Seraphine, 1995).
