Higher secondary stage happens to be crucial stage of education in India as it determines the future path of the students. This study investigated differences if any in the level of examination stress experienced by the students in terms of their gender, locality and stream of study. Stratified random sampling technique was used for data collection. Results of the study showed that there exists a significant difference between the examination stress of male and female students and between rural and urban students. It was also found that students of Arts stream experience significantly higher level of examination stress as compared to students of Science and Commerce streams.

Since the 1990′s the word ‘neoliberalism’ has been used for global market-liberalism and for free-trade policies. In India, the onset of the dept and fiscal crises of 1990’s triggered economic policies of liberalization of national economy in conformity with IMF and World Bank orthodoxy that was rooted in neoliberal ideology. Synchronizing with the opening up of markets the state gave shape to an educational reform arbitrarily borrowed from the western neoliberal educational paradigm displacing egalitarian commitments in education. It radically redefines the character and purposes of education particularly higher education in India. This paper highlights the policies for higher education in India within the context of neo-liberal economic reforms and how these neo-liberal agendas have increased inequalities and diminished democratic accountability. It analyzes some effects of neo-liberal policies on goals, motivations, meth...

The Maslach Burnout Inventory which was used to measure dimensions of teachers' burnout consisted of three subscales: emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment and depersonalisation. In addition, the Dixit Job Satisfaction Scale [DJSS], which was developed by Dr Meera Dixit, was used to measure the subjects' job satisfaction level. The purpose of the present research is to investigate the effect of demographic variables such as sex and age and location of the schools on job burnout and the relationship between job burnout and job satisfaction. In this study, job burnout is considered as dependent variable; and age , gender, location of school and " job satisfaction" as independent variables. The results of this study show that firstly, the job burnout of teachers leads to the decrease of job satisfaction. Secondly, the demographic variables age and area of work place affect job burnout. But sex was not found to be a factor of job burnout. The negative consequences of job burnout are too costly for organizations. Therefore, to devise proper plans to decrease its consequences, this paper suggests some measures to control this phenomenon . The findings would be helpful for other researcher in policy discussions and efforts to improve teachers' quality of work life and performance.
