ABSTRACT

The present study is an attempt to assess the level of Educational Aspiration among secondary school students of Porbandar district. The level of educational aspiration is considered as an indicator of the success of students. 400 students from private and government schools were drawn by employing simple random techniques. To assess the level of Educational Aspirations, Educational Aspiration Scale (Form P) developed by Dr V.P. Sharma and Dr Anuradha Gupta was used to know the educational aspiration level of the students. The obtained data were analyzed by using mean, SD and F test. The finding of the study revealed that boys and girls differ significantly on overall educational aspiration similarly; Gujarati medium students have a greater level of educational aspiration. These findings will be useful for a range of stakeholders such as educationists, policy makers, teachers, parents, etc.
