In an ever-evolving educational landscape, understanding the effectiveness and challenges of educational programs is vital for continuous improvement. Education plays a crucial role in shaping the future of individuals and communities. This research paper aims to assess the impact of educational programs and the difficulties encountered by learners in higher secondary schools in the Kampur area of Nagaon, Assam. The research employs a structured questionnaire administered to students from various schools to gather information on the quality of education, resources, and students’ welfare. The study particularly focuses on identifying gaps between the designed curriculum and its practical implementation in the classroom environment. The findings suggest that although educational programs are effective, significant issues such as a lack of resources and high levels of academic pressure persist. Additionally, the study reveals that resources are strongly related to students’ satisfaction. Several suggestions are made to enhance educational programs and address these challenges to improve students’ overall satisfaction and academic achievement.
