Private schooling is an important
feature of the educational landscape in Pakistan and is
increasingly a topic of public and government discourse.
This study uses multiple rounds of national household sample
surveys to examine the extent and nature of private school
participation at the primary and secondary levels in
Pakistan. Today, one-fifth of children -- or one-third of
all students -- go to private school in Pakistan. Private
school students tend to come from urban, wealthier, and more
educated households than do government school students and
especially out-of-school children. Important differences
exist across Pakistan s four provinces with respect to the
characteristics of private school students relative to
government school students, as well as in the composition of
private school students. Private schooling is highly
concentrated, with a few districts (situated mainly in
northern Punjab province) accounting for most of the private
school students. Private school participation among children
varies largely from one household to another, rather than
within households, and to a greater extent than does
government school participation. The spatial patterns of
private school supply are often strongly correlated with the
spatial patterns of private school participation. In the
2000s, private school participation rates grew in Punjab,
Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces and across
socioeconomic subgroups, contributing in particular to the
growth in overall school participation rates for boys,
children from urban households, and children from households
in the highest wealth quintile. Nevertheless, the
composition of private school students has become less
unequal over time. This trend has been driven mainly by
Punjab province, which has seen declines in the shares of
private school students from urban households and households
in the highest wealth quintile. |
