These facts induce high school wastage and inefficiency of the public sector. The solution to such a problem requires a better understanding of both parents and learners difficulty, and the definition of a sound scheme of financial help, and moral support. تهدف هذه الورقة إلى أبراز العلاقة بين ارتفاع إشعار المورد الغذائية من جهة والتحصيل والرسوب المدرسي من جهة أخرى في الطور الابتدائي , والمتوسط والثانوي في الجزائر. وتحوي هذه الورقة على بحث نظري وعمل تطبيقي في ولأية الاغواط و تندوف ، أما نتائج البحث فتبرز و جود علاقة عكسية قوية بين المتغير ين.
