Abstract
- This descriptive study aimed to investigate causes and impact of part-time employment on the academic performance of students at secondary level. It was conducted in 105 High and Higher Secondary schools of district Peshawar. The part-time employed 378 students were taken from schools as sample. Questionnaire was designed to get the opinions of the students. The collected data was analyzed by using percentages. The analysis of data revealed that that most of the students started their paid part-time employment at secondary level at adolescence age with their parents, family members and others. More than seventy percent students were engaged in their part-time employment for 5 to 8 hours after their school hours. Burden of work at work place, absence of father/brother or boss from the work place were reasons for missing their school. The students had no time for completing their class room assignment, performing their class room activities easily and for participating in co-curricular activities. Although the students did not repeat any grade but only few students got 1st division with their part-time employment. Majority of the students believed that their part-time employment would be beneficial for them in future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
