The relationship between a growth mindset and education remains a subject of ongoing discussion. Some claim that education promotes a growth mindset. Others call this relationship into doubt. A growth mindset refers to the belief that one’s intelligence can be developed through effort and learning. The current study endeavored to analyze the growth mindset of students at the Child Protection and Welfare Bureau (CP&WB) School in Gujranwala with the following objectives: i) to identify the level of growth mindset among students at the Child Protection and Welfare Bureau in Gujranwala, ii) to analyze the effect of students’ duration of stay at the institution on the development of a growth mindset among students of the Child Protection and Welfare Bureau in Gujranwala. Adopting a positivist approach, the research utilizes a structured Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 105 students. Statistical analysis, including both descriptive and inferential tests, reveals that the majority of students exhibit a growth mindset. Longer institutional stay durations are positively correlated with increased confidence in personal abilities, which influences their belief in developing intelligence. The findings underscore the importance of educational interventions in fostering positive mindsets, resilience, and motivation among children in institutional care.
