There is significant influence of mother education and father education at 0.01 level of significance on the errors committed by the IX class students in geometrical concepts. Illiterate mothers group students have less error committed by the IX class students in geometrical concepts than the literate mothers group students. The administrators have to provide educational facilities for mothers. Illiterate fathers group students have less error committed by the IX class students in geometrical concepts than the literate fathers group students.
