Abstract

This study in Bangladesh is a more detailed analysis of how part time jobs affect Street CGPA of the students. The survey involved 611 Small-Island State respondents that included influences on employment type, % of average time per day spent and others differences. The research focuses on the nexus between students’ work hours and their CGPA. The data will be analyzed using cutting-edge machine learning methodologies Decision Tree, Random Forest and Gradient Boosting etc. The significant factors in predicting academic performance were tested by chi-square statistics to assess feature importance. Results are discussed in terms of the comparison between models along accuracy, precisions, recall and overall balance analyses and therefore robustness across results. The results offer implications for the policy makers, educators and students about effect of part-time job on school performance in terms of how to meet a sufficient balance between work and study.
