Problems Faced by the Private Sector at the Primary Level in Pakistan

Maqsooda Hussain, Ph. D.

Abstract

Primary education has been recognized as the basic human right of every child and it is the duty of the government to provide this basic facility to all its citizens. But the governments alone are not able to do this because of their scare resources. The private sector, therefore, is required to come forward and share the burden. In spite of many efforts, the private sector has not yet delivered and there is a need to find out the problems that hinder its advancement. To highlight this problem a national study on the subject was carried out.

The main objective of the study was to find out and prioritize the problems faced by the private sector at primary level in Pakistan. The data was gathered from all four provinces of Pakistan. Questionnaires were prepared for the heads of private schools to find out their views. These were administered either by hand or were posted to sample private schools. All sample places were visited. Telephone proved to be the most effective source in the collection of data, as it was frequently used to remind the respondents. The main problems highlighted by the respondents were: Attitude of the government, registration process, policies of government towards private sector and payment of utility bills.

Key words: Primary education, Private sector, Problems of private sector, Primary education in Pakistan
