  • Abstract
    This study aimed to identify the attitude and behaviour towards at school learning among 39 children accommodated at a Children’s Home. The study used structured interview to gather data from respondents. The result showed that most children accommodated in their Children’s Home display negative attitude and behaviour in various learning aspects at school. The absence of positive self aspiration among the children lessens the childrens’ interest in education and they neglect various opportunities available to grab knowledge through an effective learning at school.
