Abstract

The study sought to determine the impact of parental education on the social adjustment of girls at secondary level schooling. The study will be significant for the stakeholders of education e.g. parents. The study will also be useful for secondary school teachers concerning social adjustment. The study's population consisted of all female students in their last year of secondary school certificate "SSC" in 91 girls' Government secondary schools in the district of Sargodha. The study's sample consisted of 400 students chosen at random from nine (10%). A self-created questionnaire was employed, and data was gathered by the researchers themselves. Cronbach Alpha, the dependability coefficient, was 0.72. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics (frequency, mean scores, SD, etc.) and inferential statistics (t-test and Pearson r). The major findings were that as the students' mothers' and fathers' education levels increased, so did their social adjustment level also enhance. A positive but weak link was discovered between female students' adjustment and their parents' education. It is recommended that head teachers and teachers raise awareness among parents during parent-teacher meetings to help female students gain confidence and prepare for social adjustment.
