This paper is aimed to study the attitude of secondary school students towards school. The research was conducted on a sample of 437 secondary school students and 42 teachers, who teach them. Students were given a questionnaire to identify their attitude towards school from five perspectives: students' self-perception from an academic point of view, students' attitude towards the school itself, attitude towards teachers, the importance they attach to goals, motivation, and self-regulation. Group interviews with teachers explored the relationship between teachers and students, how teachers relate to students, how they perceive students, how school assessments are done, how they provide feedback to students, as well as issues of improving students' attitudes towards school.

Students' interest in courses is related to the use of self-regulatory strategies and motivation. The student's attitude toward the courses is influenced by the interest in the course and by the perception of the relevance of its future usefulness. A negative attitude toward school can influence school performance (McCoach, 2002). The most important factors that influence adolescents' attitudes towards school are their mental state and level of conscientiousness, and academic performance is influenced by the characteristics of parents rather than students, although their effects can be better described as moderate (Heaven & Newbury, 2004). There are differences in students' attitudes towards school depending on geographical location. Thus, Murphy et al. (2006) argue that Irish students prefer all learning subjects, while those in Oman do only half of them. If Irish girls have a more positive attitude, there are slight differences between the boys and girls in Oman. Both Irish and Oman students prefer 75
