To deeply and comprehensively view the problem both quantitative and qualitative research methods were adopted. The sample comprised of all the immediate stakeholders of the problem: Students, Teachers, Heads, and Parents. In quantitative a close ended questionnaire was developed to collect data from students. Data thus collected was entered and analyzed in the SPSS version 20.0. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used to analyze the data.
