Contribution
The Education sector in Pakistan has been subjected to various experiments through frequent policy changes. These have resulted in negative results most of the time. The most obvious results are vaguely defined policies and poor implementation. These lead to stratification of educational service providers and division amongst users of these services. The stark disparity between private and public sector education providers is manifested in output of pupils, access to these services and socioeconomic security of workers engaged (including teachers).
The Private sector of education is rich in resources as compared to the public sector but the output is not comparable with public sector. As a result the private sector’s capability to serve as “substitute” of public sector is not realised. While the Private sector operates on commercial basis, its employees are not compensated on commercial basis, rather there are ad hoc arrangements thus seriously compromising the quality of both input and output.
