Abstract

The aim of the present research investigation was to explore the perception of problems among adolescents studying in government and public schools. The sample of 100 (N=100) students with equal number of males and females studying in class twelfth was randomly selected from government (n=50) and public schools (n=50). For identifying the perception of adolescents regarding their problems, a standardized Student Problems Inventory developed by Badami (1977) was used. In order to analyze the data, t-test was applied. Results depicted that significant difference existed between the mean scores of perception of problems of Govt. and Public school adolescents with regard to area of economic and material facilities (t=2.261, p<. 05). Highly significant difference was also revealed in the mean scores of perception of problems of Govt. and Public school adolescents with regard to vocational area (t=2.686, p<.01). The findings suggest that in the above two areas, public school adolescents perceived more problems as compared to their counterparts studying in govt. schools.
