Academic achievement is one of the important goals of education and affected by number of correlated factors including emotional intelligence and socioeconomic status of adolescents. This research has revealed that socioeconomic status can predict academic success better than traditional measures of intelligence. This study aims to assess the impact of socioeconomic status on educational aspects of adolescents. The research was carried out on a sample of 45 adolescents studying in different primary and secondary schools in Manje area, Blantyre district. The barriers to access school materials, lacking access to quality education, inability to pay for school fees, failure to join tertiary education, school absenteeism, poor results and bad performance and school dropout, all showed the challenges faced by adolescents from low socioeconomic status on education. However, all these challenges may infringe with adolescents education in Manje area, Blantyre district. This study also revealed that low socioeconomic status may lead to financial, social, physical and psychological effect among adolescents. On the basis of the findings made in this study, conclusions are made that socioeconomic status influences the educational aspects of adolescents. Based on the findings made in this study, we recommend that both government and non-governmental organizations should reach out more to adolescents from low or poor socioeconomic backgrounds by providing scholarships opportunities for them as well as through offering of direct financial assistance to homes in order to empower them and sustain them economically as these homes are the immediate environment of the children. In addition, promoting school infrastructure development and building new primary and secondary schools will create a chance for adolescents to have access to education.
