schools the researcher decided to find out the effect of lack of such facility. The topic of

the study was Effects of Lack of Laboratory Facilities on Science Students at Secondary

Schools. The important objectives of the study were to trace out availability and benefit

of laboratory facility in secondary schools of Chak Jhumra. “Survey Study” method was

used which involves both Qualitative and Quantitative research. The population of

collected the data from five boys and five girls government schools present in Chak
