Abstract
A single parent is one either a man or woman who is living independently with his children
without the other partner they have had children or a child with. Single—parent—families were
now very common to many societies today particularly Bukwo and this may be caused by
separation of the parents, divorce and death. This study seeks to investigate the influence of
single-parent-families on academic performance of secondary school students in Bukwo
district. In this study, the comparative research design will be used coupled with qualitative
and quantitative research approaches. The design is good in dealing with cause and effect
relationships of variables involved in such studies. This study will therefore gather
qualitative and quantitative data for students’ academic performance scores, and attitudes
towards schooling using questionnaires, interview schedules and documentary review
