Self-acceptance and academic achievement of secondary school students in Kancheepuram District, Tamil Nadu, India

Abstract

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't. Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. Education is the foundation stone for the development of a country. It is a dynamic force in the life of every individual influencing his physical, mental, emotional, social and ethical developments. Formal education is given to individuals through primary, secondary and higher secondary stages. Individual improves the skills such as reading, writing and arithmetic through primary education.
