Abstract:

Present modern age is the age of excellence specially, in academics because it is most likely the key of success in all spheres of life endeavors. A child being innocent is dynamically in the fast growing and formative stage. His /her academic achievement seems to be the result of school and environment which a child receives as well as the family environment. School environment as well as one’s family environment is of utmost importance for academic performance. School environment where children’s formal education starts is one of the most important aspects where children’s motivation and attitude towards education is formal and the same way the development of the child is the result of both home and school environment. It is a matter of fact that school environment along with family environment is instrumental in developing motivation among the children for study. Poor and authoritative school and family environment is likely to result poor motivation and academic achievement whereas conducive school environment and supportive environment at home leads to higher motivation and successively higher academic achievement. It is also observed that school environment as well as positive home environment inculcates positive and realistic strength and confidence which is important for better academic achievement. In the light of the above assertions the present study was undertaken to investigate the impact of school and family environment on the psychological empowerment and academic achievement among high school students. This study was undertaken because of the fact that this level is actually a career determining phase in children’s life.
