    Introduction

    1.1 Background of the study

    Academic stress is a prevalent issue among students, impacting their mental

    well-being and academic performance. This paper explores the multifaceted

    relationship between stress and academic performance, examining the various

    sources of stress, its psychological and physiological effects, and the resultant

    impact on learning, motivation, and overall academic achievement. Drawing on

    existing research, the paper will discuss effective coping mechanisms and

    interventions to mitigate stress and enhance academic success.

    This study asssed the impact of stress on the academic perfomance of

    students According to Emmanuel Akaadpadgi (et al.., 2023) in the Bolgatanga

    Technical University. It investigated the causes of stress, the symptoms of stress,

    the effects of stress and how students can overcome stress. The quantitative

    research strategy was used for the study. The research data collection was

    preceded by a literature review to provide an in-depth understanding of the

    research topic. A structured questionnaire designed in the form of a Likert-Scale

    was administered to One Hundred and Forty (140) students who were the

    participants of the study. The data was analysed using the Statistical Package for

    Social Sciences (SPSS) and the results were presented in the form of descriptive

    statistics using the Relative Importance Index (RII). The study revealed that

    several factors namely high cost of living, poor time management, limited

    facilities, difficult relations and the workload caused stress among students of the

    Bolgatanga Technical University. It was concluded that stress has a negative

    impact on the academic performance of students. The study recommends that

    the guidance and counselling department of the university should be

    strengthened to make it more effective in supporting students to overcome


    stress. In addition, guidance programmes such as seminars and public lectures on

    stress awareness should be organized periodically for

    students so that they can be adequately equipped with the needed skills to

    handle issues related to academic stress better. Finally, provision should be made

    in the curriculum for adequate time for students to rest by not allowing lectures to

    extend to weekends.

    I get this idea on Emmanuel Akaadpadgi (et.., al 2023) I choose this topic to

    inspire other students to not get affect by stress and not affect academic

    performance my advice is get strong and chill

    The objective of this study is to examine the effect of stress on the academic

    Performance of Grade 12 Students. the associated risk when stress is not

    managed properly. To achieve this objective, three research questions were

    tested and the literature review was mainly focused on the causes, effects and

    ways of managing stress. The instrument of data collection was questionnaire

    while convenience sampling method and random sampling technique were

    adopted for the study. Data collected and analyzed were driven from the three

    research questions posed. From the findings, it was discovered thagstudents’

    academic performance.
