The Status of Science Education at Secondary Level in Tehsil Katlang, Mardan

Abstract

The current state of science education in the Tehsil Katlang District of Mardan was the subject of this investigation. There are fifteen schools in the tehsil Katlang Mardan, and we chose four at random to gather data on science instruction. The supervisor sent a well-crafted questionnaire. According to the study's findings, all schools were founded in the 1960s, indicating that starting a school is today a pipe dream. Each school has more than 800 pupils and a student-teacher ratio of 1:24, which is the perfect classroom size. Elementary & Secondary Education sets the standardized marks for the science classes that the science instructors teach. The student's interest in science extends far beyond the arts. The subpar laboratory equipment in the aforementioned schools demonstrates the deplorable state of science instruction. Every week, two experiments are carried out, and in all participating schools, 10 to twenty experiments are undertaken during the year. The study recommends that science instruction should align with students' aptitudes rather than solely their parents' or personal preferences. Furthermore, regular science practicals are essential for aiding pupils in grasping concepts effectively. To support this, special funding should be allocated to all schools for the purchase of laboratory and science supplies.
