Abstract
Life skills play a key role in the academic achievement of students and the development of a society and nation. This research aims to investigate the life skills of male and female mentally retarted students, to assess the life skills of female and male mentally retarded students as perceived by their teachers, to analyze the academic achievements of the mentally retarded students, and to investigate the impact of the life skills of mentally retarded students on their academic achievement. A total of 20 students in the 10th grade and their teachers were selected for the current study. The researcher used a questionnaire for data collection and they were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and percentage formula. The results of the study showed that students with mental retardation achieved low academic scores. These low academic achievements of students with mental retardation indicated that children with mental retardation need special care and extra efforts to achieve better academic achievements.
