        abstract = {The present study investigated on student engagement among school students. The research was conducted with the sample of 800 secondary school students from government schools affiliated with the Punjab School Education Board, S.A.S., Nagar, Mohali. Stratified random sampling technique was used to collect the sample. The research employed a descriptive research design, utilizing standardized tool, including Student engagement scale by Lam et al. (2014). The results revealed that a significant gender and locale-wise differences were found in student engagement among school students. Female and urban school students showed better student engagement than male and rural school students. These findings emphasize the need to address gender and locale disparities in student engagement. Lower engagement among male and rural students indicates gaps in resources and support. Addressing these disparities is essential for promoting equitable learning opportunities, improving overall academic outcomes and ensuring that no group of students is disadvantaged due to gender or geographical location. This study also showed the importance of fostering student engagement to enhance overall students’ development, offering implications for educators, policymakers, and parents.},
