Teachers and schools have important role to play towards learning capabilities of students. Their roles includes promoting active learning, developing thinking skills, creating effective learning zones, promoting success, providing effective feedback, recognizing and creating learning windows, developing good relationship, developing learning pedagogy, enhancing motivation and accepting individual differences

Students’ friends also seem to influence their educational success. They tend to select friends with similar interests and goals. Students whose peers have higher educational aspirations tend to have more positive academic self-concepts themselves. They are more engaged in schools and have higher hopes for their life long education than students whose peers have low educational aspirations. Students who spend a lot of unproductive time with friends tend to have lower achievement levels than those who spend less time hanging out with peers. So students who wish to excel in their studies should be selective when it comes to choosing friends to hangout with.

There is no doubt that peers play an important role in academic achievement of students. Peers can either give academic leverage or synergy or academic doom to students. This is the very reason as to why many parents tend to be concerned about the types of friends that their children hang out with.

The attitude and commitment of parents towards getting involved in their children educational well-being is critical to their achievement of academic excellence. The parents of students who do their best are interested in more than homework and grades. They make time to talk to their children and to be available.
