DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.37500/IJESSR.2021.4231 ABSTRACT This study aims at using Profile analyses of students’ performance in secondary schools in Sudan academic year (2018) the study was conducted for both science and Arts section students for six subjects. (Box's M) analysis showed that the students' performance in government and private schools is not equal, both in Science and Arts section students in the basic subjects. However, (Hotelli ng’s Trace) test showed that there is a significant difference between the students' performance in government and private schools in both Science and Arts section student’s in the basic subjects, also the school type does affect students’ performance in the basic subject. The findings prevail that through general profile lines it is unsymmetrical about the means for students’ performance in the government and private sector and weak points for the students have been determined both in the governmental and private sector. KEYWORDS: Profile Analysis, Box's M, MANOVA, Performance, Sudanese Secondary Certificate INTRODUCTION The Profile Analysis Method is a multivariate statistical technique used to determine the differences between the groups. It is repeated to measure the extension of Multivariate Analysis of Variance MANOVA by which a researcher typically seeks to demonstrate that classes are not distinct when implementing Profile Analysis. That is to compare (g) students’ group according to their performance in (p) number of tests to present the performance measured with specific standards for each group through hypothesis tests. Therefore, A profile analysis is conducted to explore the differences in students’ performance in the secondary certificate in the academic year (2018) both in private and government schools, where students’ performance is considered a critical factor for university admission as well as their choices. This research aims at applying Profile Analysis method for comparing the students’ performance of Sudanese Secondary Certificate in (year 2018) in the government and private education. The research has been divided two parts, part one reviews the theoretical aspect of Profile Analysis while part two contains the application aspect of the Profile Analysis for the basic subjects for Student’s sudanese secondary certificate, such as: Arabic language, Islamic studies, English language, Special mathematics for both Science and Art section students,
