Factors Affecting Academic Performance of Students: A Cross- Sectional Study of Secondary Schools of Kotli AJ&K

Abstract

    This study was conducted to examine the Factors Affecting the Academic performance of students at the secondary level in Kotli AJ&K. The population of the study consisted of approximately 4000 government students studying at the secondary level. The researcher selected 350 students of secondary level in Kotli City as the sample in this study through the continent sampling technique. The current study was quantitative in nature. Descriptive research was used to conduct the study and a survey method was conducted for data collection. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used as a tool in this study. There are many factors that influence the academic performance of students such as school factors, parental, social and economic conditions, teacher factors, and many more. It is recommended that the educational authorities may introduce need-based scholarships for deserving students so that the student's academic performance may not get influenced by the economic status of the family.
