A Comparative Study of Study Habits of Adolescents of Government and Private schools and their relation to personality

Jimoh (2000) describes education as the totality of the experiences made available to individuals, in formal or informal situations to make them develop a rounded personality and to be useful to themselves and the society at large. And development of personality of the child’s depends on the adjustment with the environment. To help the pupil in making the changing environment is one of the important aims of education. Adjustment helps in having integrated and balanced personality. Considering the numerous advantages that are desirable from education, no amount of resources expended on it can be described as too much. Thus parents and guardians send their children and wards to secondary schools to acquire relevant educational skills, knowledge and good morals so as to be useful to themselves and society. Anameze (2001) noted that since education is regarded as an agent of nation development So factors that promote academic performance such as effective study habits should be encouraged among students.
