A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ADJUSTMENT AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT BETWEEN SCIENCE AND ARTS STUDENTS AT SENIOR SECONDARY LEVEL
Abstract
The present study aimed to compare adjustment and academic achievement between science and arts stream students at the senior secondary level. According to the data, there is no statistically significant difference between boys and girls in the arts stream students’ adjustment, but there is a statistically significant difference between boys and girls in the scientific stream and arts stream students’ academic accomplishment. It is also found that students of the science stream have better academic achievement than students of the arts stream, and students of the arts stream have better adjustment than science stream students. Education is the process of enhancing a person’s abilities and potential in order to position that person for success in a particular community or culture. According to this viewpoint, education primarily serves the purpose of promoting personal growth. Education starts at birth and lasts the rest of one’s life. It never ends and never ceases. Education shapes a person like a flower that spreads its scent throughout the globe. No country can ever progress to its fullest, and no society can ever claim to be prosperous society, until and unless both men and women, as the two fraction of the human race, equally benefitted by the light of education.
