The development of society is essential, and one of the most important things is to protect the rights of children. Because the protection and provision of children's rights lead to a prosperous and happy society, they must be protected and provided for as human beings' most genuine and essential needs, and everyone must be protected. The random sampling method was used in six districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhawa and examined public secondary schools for child rights awareness, focusing on children's developmental rights, participation rights, survival rights, and protection rights toward students' academic performance. The study's respondents were principals, teachers, and students at the secondary school level. The study population included 401 principals, 3435 teachers, and 83991 students, while the study sample included 88 principals, 792 teachers, and 880 students. The data was collected through adapted self-administered research questionnaires and was analyzed using descriptive, reliability, factor, correlation, and regression analysis. It is proved that principals and teachers understand child rights awareness significantly and practice. Still, in all three sample categories, child rights awareness is not fully influencing student academic performance, and child rights awareness in the form of development, participation, survival, and protection rights partially influences student academic performance.
