Réalisée auprès de 420 enfants en âge préscolaire dont 210 élèves orphelins et 210 élèves non orphelins, cette étude a cherché à comparer le rendement scolaire de ces deux groupes d’enfants. En effet, après la descente effectuée dans 10 établissements scolaires de maternelles dans la ville Kinshasa, nous avons pu noter dans les palmarès de ces élèves les cotes exprimant leur rendement scolaire. L’analyse statistique des données récoltées nous a poussés à relever que globalement le rendement scolaire des enfants en âge préscolaire non orphelins (83,39) est supérieur à celui des enfants en âge préscolaire orphelins (78,23). Au niveau 1, c’est-à-dire chez les 3 ans d’âge, les enfants orphelins ont un rendement scolaire supérieur à celui des enfants non orphelins (moyennes 77,40 sur 72,72).
This study, conducted with 420 preschool children (210 orphans and 210 non-orphans), aimed to compare the academic performance of these two groups. After visiting 10 preschools in Kinshasa, we were able to record the scores reflecting the students' academic achievement. Statistical analysis of the collected data revealed that overall, the academic performance of non-orphaned preschool children (83.39) was higher than that of orphaned preschool children (78.23). At Level 1, i.e., among 3-year-olds, orphaned children had a higher academic performance than non-orphaned children (average 77.40 out of 72.72).
