For this study, 7 private secondary schools and 5 public secondary schools are randomly selected. 10 students with 5 boys and 5 girls from each sample schools are chosen by lottery method. The secondary data are obtained by compulsory mathematics scores of selected secondary schools students taken from SLC Mark ledger from the District Education Office Kaski. The primary data are obtained from the responses of mathematics teachers by filling the questionnaire by themselves. The collected data are tabulated and analyzed with the help of mean, standard deviation and z-value to test the significance difference in compulsory mathematics achievement of students in private secondary schools and public secondary schools. The difference in mean scores is tested at 0.05 level of significance. On the basis of the findings of the study, the following conclusions have been drawn: 1. The mean score of private school students is greater than the mean score of public school students. 2. The mean scores of students in private schools are greater than the mean scores of students with respect to gender wise. 3. The mean scores of boys and girls in public school are same. 4.

It was a qualitative research and respondents were determined by sample survey. The researcher developed an opinionaire form related to image of mathematics. Inside it, attitude and belief were taken as two pillars. In total, fifteen boys and fifteen girls were chosen from public school of grade IX and fifteen boys and fifteen girls from grade X respectively. Similarly, fifteen boys and fifteen girls were chosen from private school in grade IX and fifteen boys and fifteen girls from grade X Students believed that mathematics is neither easy nor difficult subject but it is more time, more practice and more concentration needy subject. It has not any relation between gender and mathematics achievement and similarly no one born with math-mind. Mathematics is enjoyable subject and mathematical puzzles and quizzes are its entertain part. Many formulas and process oriented nature are the main bother factor of mathematics. Students want all solutions from different types of questions and they see answers from book. Students don't angry with mathematics teacher and mathematics but some students think it is useful subject but they cannot study mathematics well. Mathematics build up personality and it fulfill public many daily necessities as well. Using of calculators and formula tables is not good habit but many students have a habit of using calculator. Rough paper are needed but it should used only in v needy situation. Mathematics homework must be done and it is enjoyable job when students know and understand it. Otherwise, it is boring and headache to students. In summary, mathematics is useful, applicable in every field, useful in day to day life and very necessary subject for future but its learning depends on teacher's motivation, student's activity and mathematical environment. It is sex free, technique needed, useful, job chancing and valued subject.Item Knowledge and Attitude on STIsand HIV/AIDs among Secondary School Students (A Case Study of Shreejana Jagriti Higher Secondary School, Pithuwa)(Department of population studies, 2010) Parajuli, GokulThe study on “Knowledge and Attitudes on STIs and HIV/AIDS amongsecondary school students in Shree Jana Jagriti Higher Secondary School'sstudents, Pithuwa, Chitwan” has been carried out by using primary datacollected from the school..

It has seen adramatic viewthe spread of HIV/AIDS from the initial in the UnitedStates, Europe to SouthAsia. HIV/AIDS has become as well as critical public health issue particularly inAfrica facing HIV/AIDS as epidemic. HIV/AIDS is cause of death in Africa andother part of the world wide.Although efforts for its prevention and control havebeen made and method continuously by United Nations, Governments, WHO,NGOs and INGOs to minimize the spread of HIV. It is still beyond the capacity ofmedical enrichment and is categorized incurable disease. If proper action is nottaken immediately, it might be disastrous. Theselected four Secondary Schools were selected purposively, out of the totalsample population (N=200) the percentage of adolescents who have heard ofHIV/AIDS is higher than the percentages who have heard of STIs. This studyshows that higher the class, higher the knowledge of STIs, HIV/AIDS. The knowledge of STIs and HIV/AIDS is rich among female adolescents incomparison to the male adolescents. Due to the lackof sufficient knowledge, someof them had misconception about ways of transmission, symptoms and preventivemeasures of STls and HIV/AIDS.The percentage of adolescents who had notexperience of sexual intercourse is higher. Lack of significant knowledge of STIs and HIV/AIDS, some of them havenegative attitude and behaviour towards these diseases. We should inform andeducate them about STIs and HIV/AIDS.Item Learning Styles Adopted By Secondary Level Learners Of English In Ilam(Faculty of Education Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur Kathmandu, Nepal, 2016) Karki, JashodaThe present thesis entitled Learning Styles Adopted by Secondary Level Learners of English in Ilam aimed to find out the learning styles adopted by secondary level learners of English in Ilam and to find out the personality differences in the use of learning styles in English classroom. Keeping the objectives in consideration, 70 English learners of secondary school from Danabari, Ilam were sampled through non-random purposive sampling procedure. A set of structured questionnaire was the tool of data collection. After analysis and interpretation of data, it has been found that majority of the students used visual learning styles and least of the students used field independent learning styles. Likewise, all of the learning styles mentioned in the questionnaire i.e. perceptual styles, introvert, extrovert, deductive, inductive, field independent and field dependent learning styles were found to be used by both 35 introvert and 35 extrovert learners with slight variation in the degree of use. This thesis consists of five chapters. Chapter one is introductory part which ncludes background of the study, statement of the problems, objectives of the study, research questions, significance of the study, delimitations of the study and operational definition of the key terms. Similarly, chapter two includes the review of the related theoretical literature, review of related empirical literature, implications of the review of the study and conceptual framework. The chapter three deals with methods and procedures of the study under which design and method of the study, population, sample and sampling strategy, study area/ site, data collection tools and techniques, data collection procedures, analysis and interpretation procedures are mentioned. Likewise, chapter four includes analysis and interpretation of results and summary of the findings. Chapter five includes conclusions and recommendations .The recommendation is classified into policy related, practice related and further research related. Finally, the references and appendices are included.Item Lower Secondary Level Students’ Proficiency on Reading Comprehension(Faculty of Education Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur Kathmandu, Nepal, 2016) Singh, AbisaraThe present research work entitled Lower Secondary Level Students’ Proficiency on Reading Comprehension was an attempted to find out the students‟ proficiency in reading comprehension of the eighth grade. For this, forty students of grade eight were sampled from four different schools; two private and two public schools of Kathmandu district through non-random sampling procedure. A set of test comprising of short question, true/false items, matching items, fill in the blanks items and vocabularies items was administered in order to find out the students‟ proficiency on reading comprehension.

In comparision, lower secondary level students‟ proficiency on reading comprehension of private school was better than public schools. The study is divided into five chapters. The first chapter includes the general background, statement of the problem, objectives of the study, research questions, significance of the study, delimitations of the study and operational definitions key terms. The second chapter deals with the review of related theoretical literature and review of related empirical literature. It also includes implication of review for the study and conceptual framework. The third chapter includes the methods and procedures of the study. It subsumes design of the study, population and sample, sampling procedure, data collection procedure, data analysis and interpretation procedure. Chapter four encompasses the results and discussion of the collected data. The last chapter consists of summery, conclusions and implications of the study.
