Adjustment is a process that is supposed to lead to a person's happy and contented life. It establishes a balance between requirements and capacity to meet them, persuades those concerned to adapt their lifestyles to the demands of the circumstances, and provides the strength and capability to bring about desired changes in environmental conditions. The study suggested that schools must emphasize teaching students how to adjust to themselves and their surroundings, rather than just excellent academic achievement. Schools must hold regular sessions with student's parents to keep them informed about their children's progress. Schools must keep a separate record of students' behaviour inside the school and identify emotionally immature students. This will help them to give counseling. All the schools must be upgraded with modern amenities such as a well-equipped laboratory, a well-stocked library, and well-organized classrooms. In the classroom, a technique of group discussion and other curricular activities might be organized. As a result, the student's adjustment will improve. This study presents a review of literature on the topic. This paper is an attempt to reviews the papers from 2010 to 2020.

This paper analyses the contextualised determinants affecting the academic achievement of secondary school students in Mauritius. A mixed methodology was used to understand the effect of the determinants on students’ achievement considering the academic progression of learners from one point (CPE: Examination marking the end of primary schooling) to another (NG9A: Checkpoint assessment after three years of secondary schooling).  The first phase had a non-positivist epistemological stand using the qualitative method of ‘focus group discussion’ to identify the determinants and then validate the TIMSS questionnaire. The second phase had a post-positivist epistemological stand where an amended version of the standardised international questionnaire TIMSS was administered to collect data from a sample of 600 students. The primary data were analysed to produce a Linear Multiple Regression Model. The findings reveal that 90.1% achievement can be explained by the variables of school leadership, student, socio-economic factor, and teacher (R square = 0.9.1; p < 0.05).  The model shows that school leadership has a higher positive correlation on (β=0.419) students’ achievement followed by student factor (β= 0.227), tuition teacher (β= 0.154), school teacher (β= 0.117) and socioeconomic status (β= 0.048).
