1.2 Statement of the Problem 
Schools have high accountability in building nation. The most important function of schools in 
teaching-learning process is insuring quality of education in all aspects, recognizing and 
handling all diversity issues. The researcher knows that Fitche Town is well known for religious, 
socio-economic status, ethnic, language diversities. 
In 21st century diversity has affected nearly every aspect of education such as access and equity, 
teaching methods and student learning, quality, and management. Increasing literature on this 
has shown that diversity in teaching methods has enhances teaching and learning effectiveness.
Research findings have also provided the evidence of the benefits of educational outcomes of 
diverse educational environments. In a number of ways students‘ learning process, outcomes 
and performance are enhanced by increasing critical thinking, and problem solving ability.
However, more attention is needed to be given on the aspects like how diversity is addressed and 
managed in the teaching and learning process to enhance the students understanding. But all 
these issues should go along with the institutions‘ goals and budget. Therefore, most of the time 
there is a gap between how many students‘ wants to learn, and teaching aids used by teachers, 
and how they teach in the class. The reason for choosing the Fitche town is that, its geographic 
location includes both urban and rural life style. So, by expecting more diversified society in the 
area and to use the researcher experience as a community member in the area. It helps to the 
study to identify and understand the context of the society for in-depth analysis and findings. 
Therefore this study identifies the diversity among students, teachers‘ opinion on diversity, and 
how they manage the diversity in government Secondary Schools fitche town.
