Abstract | (Purpose) The purpose of this study was to compare the academic achievement and intelligence level of Secondary School students of science, management, and education streams to identify the enrollment trend of students in teacher education in Nepal. (Methods) In this study, 150 secondary school students belonging to eight schools were selected including 50 from each science, management and education stream. For academic achievement, grade point averages of Secondary Education Examination were collected from school records and a standardized intelligence test was used to identify intelligence level. (Results) Mean score of grade point averages and intelligence test of science stream students was greater than management stream students and average scores of management stream students were greater than education stream students. Analysis of variance revealed that there was significant difference among the mean scores of science, management, and education stream students at significance level a = 0.01. Results show that the students with higher academic achievement and intelligence level are enrolling in science stream, average are in management stream and with low academic achievement and intelligence are in education stream, that is, teacher education. Review of previous studies and reports revealed that intelligent person are not attracting towards teaching profession and the condition is same till now. (Implications) Educational policy makers and stakeholders of Nepal should pay proper attention to make teaching profession attractive so that high achievers and intelligent persons may enroll in teacher education and quality of education could be raised.
