The Central and most State Boards consistently pursue the "10+2+3" pattern of education. In this pattern, 10 years of primary and auxiliary education is trailed by 2 years of higher optional (as a rule in schools having the higher auxiliary office, or in universities) and afterward '3 years' of school education for lone wolf degree. The '10 years' is additionally separated into '5 years' of primary education and '3 years' of upper primary, trailed by '2 years' of secondary school. This pattern is begun from the recommendation the Education Commission of 1964– 66. A standout amongst the most imperative roles of teachers is to create in understudy's information and aptitudes that would make them work successfully in the society. Along these lines, understudies' academic performance is a noteworthy variable that intrigue the two educators and educational therapists.

While Gupta (1993) stated that "academic performance is an unpredictable conduct. Research has reliably appeared academic achievement isn't a result of any single factor; rather it is the consequence of the exchange of countless". Numerous reasons have been progressed as the reason for high rates of failure, including awful investigation propensities, low IQ, broken teaching methods, erroneous examination systems, social and financial incongruities and so forth. methods are to be refreshed and bit by bit adjusted to suit the contemporary necessities of teaching and learning.

The study was directed on twelve schools and from each school sixty understudies of twelfth class were taken as the sample of the study. To meet the requirement of (2 X 2 X 2) factorial design, the multistage random sampling was utilized in choosing the sample. At first 720 sr. sec. schools understudies of Haryana state were picked. Out of this, the responses of just 608 understudies could be taken for examination, as just two levels were mulled over if

variables. According to the requirement of the (2 X 2 X 2) cells (15 in every cell of the paradigm) the final sample of 120 understudies was picked.

Umadevi and Vijayakumar (2016) in their research paper titled, "A Study on Impact of Confidence on Organizational Commitment, Through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), found that the success of any association lies in the hands of the employees working in it. There are two magical words which make the employees to include and outperform in their work which are confidence and commitment. The writing confirms that employees with high confidence and commitment show higher productivity in their respective occupations.

CREATIVITY:

Creativity is the limit of a person to produce compositions, items or ideas which are essentially new or novel and beforehand obscure to the producer". Dravadahal Thus creativity is the limit or ability of an individual to make, find or produce another thought or article including the rearrangements or reshaping of what is as of now known to him. The term creativity can't be utilized synonymously with giftedness. Creativity in all shapes and all structures is the highest articulation of giftedness that could conceivably be found in a particular gifted tyke. It is universally acknowledged actuality that the progress of any country depends basically on the utilization of potential of its intellectually gifted and creatively talented individuals to the maximum. As indicated by Chavo (1991), "the gifted are viewed as a profitable human asset which can enhance the standard of living and promised better life for the nation. Presently a-days, a large portion of nations on the planet are concentrating their efforts on expanding the potential of their gifted and talented so as to meet the uncommon needs of gifted individual from one viewpoint and to enhance national intensity on the planet then again". A lot of research is available on creativity and innovative individual. Still researchers stay occupied with investigating new dimensions in the concerned fields. Investigations related to stylistic variations among innovative understudies have as of late drawn the consideration of researchers.

Nature of Creativity

Creative people are born in various social, economic and political conditions. Presently what is this creativity? What are the characteristics found in artists like. Tulsidas and Kalidas by which their activity could be deduced? In the historical backdrop of the world there had been a few scholars, artists, journalists and painters who were turned out of their school classes, condemned as in reverse understudies; however who created great works in their later life. Henceforth, in present day times the progressive nations endeavor to develop activity in their new ages. The idea of activity,

12

creativity. In 1953, Morgan pointed out definitions of creativity scattered in writing. One thing was basic in these definitions and that was the uniqueness of creativity, however every one of the researchers don't view uniqueness as the essential normal for activity. These definitions additionally reveal that there had been not one single foundation to characterize creativity. This is so since the researchers have looked to creativity from changed viewpoints. In the process, the individual, the efforts and consequences of creativity diverse definitions have laid emphasis on either viewpoint. Each researcher has considered creative conduct from her own particular outlook.

Theories of Creativity

The Psychoanalytic Theory: The principle proponents of this theory include - Freud, Jung, Kris, Rank, Adler and Hammer and the general contention is that individuals turned out to be creative in response to troublesome conditions or quelled feelings. The Mental Illness Theory: The proponents of this theory include Briggs, Eisenman, Goodwin, Jamison, Richards, and Martindale; and the real principle is' that some sort of mental illness is really important so as to make the general population creative, regardless of whether that illness is astoundingly mellow called hyper burdensome syndromes, where sufferers experience extraordinary emotional episodes that maybe contribute to enhanced creativity articulation. Eysenck's Theory of Psychoticism: The fundamental proponent of this theory was the late Hans Eysenck, who argued that highly creative individuals possessed a quality termed "Psychoticism" – a disposition for insane tendencies. Eysenck additionally maintained that these crazy tendencies were the establishment for creative personalities from traditional to highly social selfless. The Humanistic Theory: The primary supporters of this theory include Maslow, Rogers, and Fromm, however the theory depends fundamentally upon Maslow's Hierarchy of needs, that must be met so as to achieve maximum potential for self-actualization. Individuals' lower needs, in any case, must met with the goal for them to progress to the following highest level and just after achieving the highest level, self-actualization, where needs are related to reason and character, are they finally free enough and agreeable enough to convey what needs be creatively.

SECONDARY EDUCATION

The origin of secondary education in India can be followed to the efforts of Christian Missionaries. They established private foundations in Bengal amid the later piece of eighteenth and beginning of nineteenth India made a mark with Charter Act of 1813 putting the responsibility of education on East India Company, which was ruling over a few sections of India. Macaulay's Minute of 1835, set out, "The great object of British Government should be the promotion of European writing and science among the natives in India; and that every one of the assets appropriated with the end goal of education would be best employed English Education alone." Supported by the resolution, the administration set up English schools 1835 to 1854 with the obvious aim of creating a class of human Indian in blood yet English in culture. The wood's dispatch (1854) gave it further driving force relegating the mother away from plain sight and making English the mechanism of guidance with secondary education. The proposal of Hunter commission (1882), helped in the development of secondary schools with academic curriculum by 1902 there were around 5124 schools with an enrolment of 6,22,868. The number of secondary or high schools and intermediate universities increased tremendously as the result of the Calcutta college commission of 1917. By 1935, the give in-help system began, technical schools grew up and the possibility of diversification developed. Secondary education is certain to be affected by the expansion of primary education. Appropriately, the number of understudies in secondary classed has gone up and the fundamental objective of secondary education at present is to make available more facilities in high and higher schools. The number of understudies in secondary classes is multiple times more than what was in the beginning of the century. In any case, with the satisfaction of the objective of mandatory primary education the number of understudies in secondary 151 classed will increase so much that the present establishments won't probably concede majority of these understudies.

CONCLUSIONS

Each period of human development brings with it new competency requirements, challenges, and opportunities for personal growth. When an individual is in the phase of adolescence, his creativity and personality is being moulded by various surrounding factors. It is well recorded that the development of an individual doesn‘t occur in vacuum but is governed by his immediate surroundings. Creativity cannot be forced but should be nurtured and encouraged for its full and real emergence. For nurturing and encouraging the internal potentials, the fostering of external environment is very necessary and important. By setting up the conditions of psychological safety and freedom, family can create the most enduring environment for the emergence of constructive creativity.
