Abstract

This study examines the interaction of familial and religious beliefs in shaping educational aspirations among secondary school students in Bangladesh. Using a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 450 students and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, multiple regression, and interaction modeling. The results indicate that familial beliefs are the strongest predictor of educational aspirations (β = 0.48), followed by religious beliefs (β = 0.36). Importantly, the interaction effect between familial and religious beliefs is statistically significant (β = 0.29), demonstrating that alignment between these belief systems strengthens educational aspirations, whereas misalignment constrains them. The novelty of this study lies in its integrated analysis of belief systems as interacting sociocultural forces rather than independent variables. This approach provides a more nuanced understanding of aspiration formation in developing country contexts. The findings imply that effective educational interventions should address not only structural barriers but also the cultural and normative dimensions of aspiration formation by engaging families and religious communities.
