Abstract
This study analyzed the impact of tertiary education on the quality of life on the families of selected CNU student assistants living below the poverty threshold after successfully completing their teacher education degrees in the university. A tracer analysis revealed that among the personal, social and demographic characteristics considered, the graduates‘ level of self-esteem strongly determines their contribution to alleviating their families‘ poverty condition. Educating a poor student who possesses strong belief in his capacity to help his family indeed significantly enhances the prospect of alleviating his family from the clutches of poverty.
