Abstract: Secondary schools around the world, including Malaysia, have switched to online classes, known as home-based teaching and learning (HBTL), to ensure school continuity due to the global disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, it was critical to investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the well-being of secondary school students. The objective of this study was to look into the predictors of well-being among Sabah secondary school students while taking demographic and contextual factors into account. This study included 1067 secondary school students from nine schools in Sabah, Malaysia. The data was examined using multiple logistic regression. The findings confirmed that several factors influenced secondary school students’ well-being, such as family monthly income, general health, coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, perception towards academic achievement during the pandemic, lifestyle, concern about COVID-19, prior and current mental health condition, difficulty sleeping, and source of social support during the pandemic. These findings shed light on the interconnected nature of the many factors that contribute to a student's well-being. Recognizing the diverse factors influencing students' well-being can inform the design of policies and interventions that not only support academic achievement but also enhance the overall well-being of students during pandemics such as COVID-19.
