INTRODUCTION

Since the evolvement of human from primitive times to the development of modern civilized societies of today, education has remained a basic element of human thought process and a fulcrum of a large part of social activities. The United Nations General Assembly under article 26 of its Development Programme has recognized the significance and the intrinsic value of education to advance human development. Further, with the rapid growth of technology and easy availability of sophisticated electronic devices for gathering information and its fast communication, delivery of proper and adequate education to the youth has become the buzzword for the policy makers globally. In our national outlook education is essential for all. Article 45 of the Constitution of India, which forms part of the Principles of State Policy Directive, charged the State with the responsibility of providing free and compulsory education for all children until the age of fourteen. Furthermore, with the 86th amendment to India's constitution, Article 45 has been replaced by the new Article 21A, which provides a basic right to education for children between the ages of 6 and 14.

EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT IN SCHOOLS:

The data indicate that income levels have a clear influence on the nature of school enrolment among households. It emerged from the survey that government school enrolment for the same income segment category declines while demand for English medium schools in higher income segments is growing. According to another report by EY-FICCI, even the rural areas saw student enrolment in private schools rise from 18.7 % in 2006 to 25.6 % in 2011. Finding the state of affairs of the government school education worrisome and its dipping relevance and disconnect with the economic prospect uses globally, it is not surprising that Many expatriates prefer to send their children to international schools while rich Indians choose more progressive Indian schools or established State Institutes which are less traditional in their teaching styles. The majority of Indians, who are in a position to afford lofty fees, prefer their children to study in a private school over a government. The summative assessment is structured as a three-hour written test conducted at school level twice a year. Each summative evaluation carries a weight of 30 percent and is to be carried out after the two training courses have been completed. The CBSE has a limited role in the preparation of question paper for the summative assessment. Nevertheless, the CBSE strictly tracks the assessment of the response sheets. The CBSE calculates the result at the end of the year by applying the formative score to the summary score, i.e. 40% + 60%= 100%. The board may subtract the total grade point average (CGPA) and thus A sociological perspective is simply a way of looking at the world. There are three general perspectives in vogue in the present day sociology viz. (i) functionalists; (ii) conflicts; and (iii) interactionists. The relationship between castellan personality traits, study habits and academic achievement was studied by Anton and Angel (2004). The study showed that students with higher scores and socialized personality characteristics had research patterns than students with lower scores and socialization characteristics of personality. Henson and Eller (2009) studied several qualities that determine teachers from using corporal punishment: - Corporal punishment emphasizes the person, not the behavior. Corporal punishment addresses only undesirable behavior; it doesn‘t address desirable alternatives. It tells about underlying causes of inappropriate behavior. Kaur (2004) studied habits of secondary school students as a congruent of their scientific attitude. The main findings of the study were, the coefficient of correlation of study habits and scientific attitude is 0.21 and is 1.0 high correlated. Both boys and girls have same pattern of study habits, girls possess higher scientific attitude than boys. "Child and education psychology," published by NCERT in 1983, identified the following essential moral values that need to be formed in children. Honesty in words and deeds, truthfulness, reverence for oneself and a desire to serve others, contrast of self-control, obligation and awareness. The findings of the above studies completely different from the present study. In this study investigator tried to find out the different aspects of present scenario in schools which effects student's academic achievement directly or indirectly.

RESEARCH DESIGN

Research design directs method of measurement and plan of data collection and results.

DATA COLLECTION TOOLS

Selection and development of the tool

The tool is selected on the basis of study objectives. After extensive and systemic review of literature and discussion with the experts, the investigator had developed questionnaire. The steps followed in preparing the tools were: ► The Review of Literature ► The Preparation of Questionnaire

The education status of parents

The above Table No. 4.1.3 clearly indicates that the 63% of the parents are graduates whereas 37% are below primary level.

RESULTS FROM THE STUDENTS N = 200

The behavior patterns of students

Thus the Table No.4.4.3 clearly indicates the negative attitude of management towards the CCE BOARDS.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings are disused under the following headings depending upon the objectives of the study keeping in mind the socio demographic characteristics of the respondents like parents, teachers, students and the management. This has led to ignorance and lack of cultural transmission along with absentees of moral values. The rise in fee hike and the extra coaching fees has added more to the parent's burden. Even if they don‘t want to work they still have to as show will be stopped. The CCE hast added burden on the students, teachers and management. The study reveals that 80% of the students are satisfied with the CCE pattern, but these are the normal students who are taking advantage of the grading system, the remaining 20% of the students who were not in favor of CCE are the students who really want to score good but they feel their time is wasted more on preparing assignments and formatives, the grading system has brought them at par with the normal 80% students. The 20% of the students are least concerned with what is happening, as school is the only place for an outing. -a rescue from house. The management is to be blamed for to the performance to some extent. The management has the burden to run the expenses of the schools. In order to earn this profit, they become money minded by charging high fees, funds and capitation fees from students. For this they appoint non-qualified teachers. The results are poor which compel the students towards coaching centers. As the student is not concentrating on the studies in the school campus, he spends his time and money outside at various coaching centers. Teachers should form a cooperative climate for such controversies by requiring students to give accurate and relevant information during information about content matter teachers should be unbiased. So that students don‘t fall in inferiority complex. It is the duty of teacher to provide advance knowledge of content matter to students. Teachers should act as a motivational source for children.
