Abstract

Education is a process which enables an individual to adjust himself to the environment. It is the method of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of information, skills, values, morals, beliefs and habits. It fits the individual to his physical and social environment. Education is that the compound wall of academics, students, parents, society, and culture. School climate is the feel of the school, the behaviours and points of view exhibited and experienced by students, teachers and other stakeholders. School culture is the way thing is done in the school, the underlying norms and values that shape the patterns of behaviour, attitudes and expectations between stakeholders in the school. A faculty culture consists of the underlying influences and attitudes among the school- supported the norms, traditions and beliefs of the employees and students. The study aims at finding the character influence of school climate
and culture on the ability of academics. It is observed that there are tremendous hindrances and challenges faced by language teachers especially English language teachers because still English is considered as a foreign language.
