Efficacy functions to enhance the desire of learning through mediations of motivations and confidence. The present study is designed to achieve two main objectives. First, to identify the level of learning efficacy of public and religious secondary school students. Second, to examine the significant difference level of learning efficacy between public and religious school students. This study involved 242 students sampled from four schools in district Ledang. The sampled participated in the survey, employing a twelfth item questionnaire measuring Learning Self-efficacy (LSE) and Peer Self-efficacy (PSE). The data are analysed quantitatively using descriptive statistics and independent-samples t-tests. The result showed that the majority of students experience a moderate level of learning efficacy. Generally, for the selected public school students the mean is 2.75 and religious school students the mean is 2.97. Regarding the comparison level of learning efficacy between the two types of students, the findings of the current study show that there is no significant differences (p=.47), while peers self-efficacy revealed that there are significant differences (p=0.001).
