Role of Secondary School Education Quality in Improving Employability: Evidence from Government Schools in Bihar

Abstract The present study examines the role of secondary school education quality in improving employability among students studying in government secondary schools in Bihar. In the context of increasing youth unemployment and concerns about skill readiness, the study highlights the importance of education quality at the secondary level as a foundation for employability-related skills. A review of related literature reveals that while several studies have explored education quality and employability independently, limited empirical research is available focusing on government secondary schools in Bihar, thereby indicating a clear research gap. The study adopted a descriptive survey method. The sample consisted of secondary school students and teachers selected through stratified random sampling from government schools. Education quality was measured through selected dimensions such as teaching methods, teacher competence, learning resources, and school environment, while employability was assessed through indicators like communication skills, problem-solving ability, teamwork, and self-confidence. Two hypotheses were formulated and tested using appropriate statistical techniques. The results of hypothesis testing revealed a significant relationship between the quality of secondary education and employability skills of students. Students studying in schools with better teaching practices and learning environments demonstrated comparatively higher levels of employability-related competencies. The discussion of results confirms and supports earlier findings reported in national and international studies, while also presenting context-specific evidence from Bihar. The major findings indicate that education quality plays a decisive role in shaping employability skills at the secondary level, though disparities exist among schools due to infrastructural and instructional differences. The study has important implications for policymakers, school administrators, and teachers, emphasizing the need to strengthen teaching quality, learning resources, and skill-oriented practices in government schools. Based on the findings, specific recommendations are made for improving teacher training, curriculum delivery, and student skill development. The study also suggests future research involving longitudinal designs, inclusion of senior secondary levels, and comparative studies across states to broaden understanding in this area.
