A HOME LIFE EXPERIENCE OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS OF ENGLISH AND URDU MEDIUM SCHOOLS

The scientific developments and subsequent technological revolutions have influenced
the family pattern to a great extent. Joint or extended families of the good old days are no longer
as common as they once were. Breakdown of joint family system and huge migration of rural
men- folk to urban and suburban clusters have resulted in the emergence of nuclear families and
increase of women headed household. All these changes have played a transforming trick with
both the social and physical environments enjoyed by the child (Youssef, N. & Hertler, C.B.
1984).
