Quality of Education in Independent and Franchise Private Secondary Schools in Pakistan

Abstract

Pakistan has a variety of privately managed schools. Inspired by the corporate model the large school systems offer franchise to the small schools in the name of better quality education leading to better market acceptability. This study was conducted to find out the difference in the quality of education provided by the franchise and independent private secondary schools. Ten schools of a renowned large spread school system were selected conveniently and ten independent schools were selected from the same localities for ensuring similarity of the context.
