This book examines the relationship between the family's cultural environment and school performance in the DRC context of Goma. The subject was chosen in the light of a number of facts showing that the school system before which all schoolchildren are equal according to the Constitution is a system of sorting and selection. The questionnaire survey, empirical purposive sampling and statistical analysis revealed that the majority of learners surveyed who excel at elementary school come from households with favourable educational material conditions. All other things being equal, the percentages obtained at elementary school evolve in the same direction as household material conditions. By maximizing family material conditions, educators can improve schoolchildren's performance. This study is of both practical and theoretical interest: it brings together material of interest to the sociology of schooling, to enrich a database for the planning and democratization of education in the DRC.
