Abstract
This study examines the impact of parents’ occupation on the self-concept of 10th grade public school students. The objectives of this study were (a) to find out the level of education of parents in the six southern districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, (b) to find out the level of self-concept of students in the six southern districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and (c) to determine whether the occupation of parents has any impact on the self-concept of students. The data were collected from a sample (N =400) of 10th grade students in the urban and rural secondary public schools. A partially adapted questionnaire was used for measuring the parents’ level of education and the students’ self-concept. The data collected were analyzed through SPSS 20. Regression and ?
