AB  - This study reviews theories and studies on
single mother parenting and its perceived effect on
student’s academic performance. Many students in South
Africa are raised by single parents, particularly women,
and it seems to be a norm. This review presents what is
already known about single mother parenting and
student’s academic performance in order to identify the
existing research gap that gave rise to the need for this
study. This literature addresses the issues on the effect of
single mother parenting on the academic performance of
students in diverse context as well as ascertaining the
effect of single mother parenting on student’s academic
performance. The knowledge obtained from this exercise
sheds more light on the study in selected high schools in
Mangaung, Bloemfontein, South Africa.
