Religious Attitude and Moral Anxiety Among the Higher Secondary School Students

According to Gandhiji, for the all-round development of the child, education should provide the right understanding about attitude and morality among the students. Particularly during the adolescent age, the maturity level usually develops and awareness about morality and religious values also begins to emerge. It is also evident that during this stage, a lot of anxiety and stress is revealed. This could be due to the lack of understanding about morality. For the purpose of getting more insight into this concept, there is a need to study the moral anxiety and religious attitude of students at the secondary school level. If clarity of the various aspects related to the moral anxiety and religious attitude is unearthed, students at the secondary level can be helped to develop the right level of moral anxiety and also a positive religious attitude. This paper analyzes the impact of religious attitude and moral anxiety on educational attainment.
