On developmental point of view cognitive development is intangible but theories and scale and well standards to find out the status, so, Cognitive development is much more than the addition of new facts and ideas to an existing store of information. School as an important factor in determining the level of performance on cognitive tasks. Objective of the study was to assess the cognitive development of private and government schools for the difference. This study was conducted on 120 adolescence (10-13 years) government and private school in Lucknow city.The duration of the study was 11 months (July2012 - May 2013). The approaches adopted for the study was multi-stage random sampling. The tools in the present study were predesigned and pretested questionnaire for family level to assess of cognitive development.
