Stress is experience in many forms and varies by the individual. Today’s children are under a massive amount of stress and it is well documented that the heavy stress loads has negative effects on children. The study was conducted to identify various stressors, children’s reaction to stress and to find out the inter-relationship between stressors and stress symptoms. A total number of 192 children studying in grade I to grade VI were selected randomly as sample for the study from eight different private schools of N.C. Hills district of Assam. A self constructed interview schedule was used to elicit background information, stressors and symptoms of stress exhibited by the children. The Interview schedule was constructed separately for the teachers and parents. School related information and family related information were collected from both the teachers and parents, respectively. The findings of the present study revealed that school related stressors such as overloaded assignments, project works, heavy class workloads and family related sources of stress like restrictions on recreational activities, watching television and confined at home even during holidays were identified to be the main stressors in children. Children’s reactions to such stressors were expressed through various physiological, socio-emotional behavioural symptoms as well as changes in academic performances. It was also revealed that when the stressors increased the symptoms of stress also increased.Keywords

A school with adequate facilities, collaborative decision making, and respectful interpersonal relations between students, staff, and parents, as well as other personnels can enhance academic achievement level in the schools. The present study was undertaken to study and compare the environment and safety of government and private schools. The sample comprised of 180 school students between the age group of 14 –15 years (class-IX) drawn from the Jorhat district of Assam. Data was collected from the respondents by using schedule to assess social relationship and to assess different aspects related to teaching and learning. It can be highlighted from the findings that all the private schools had high and average level of social relationship. In the aspect of teaching and learning the level was also found to be average. But in government schools the levels were found to be in average and low as far as social relationship and teaching – learning aspects are concerned. Statistical analysis (z-test) also showed a highly significant difference between government and private schools in the dimensions of social relationship and in the aspect of teaching and learning.Keywords
