Abstract
This descriptive study aimed to investigate causes and impact of parttime 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
