Abstract: The attainment in Maths, English and Maltese of a sample of children (N=500) was recorded in Year Vl (Primary) and Form 1 (Secondary). Each pupil's age, family size and father's occupation was also recorded. The relationship between these three factors and attainment was studied. It was found that significant correlation exists between attainment on one hand, and family size and father's occupation on the other, while age does not seem to be related to attainment. Sex difference in all 3 subjects were found to be in favour of girls. No differences between urban and suburban localities were found.
