摘要：It has observed that in spite of government efforts to provide best facilities in government schools, parents show their satisfaction about the quality of education in private schools. Therefore, school education has become an attractive business for people. Rapid growth in number of private schools and enrollment of students in these schools in Punjab province of Pakistan is a proof for popularity of private schools among parents. Therefore, present study was conducted to search out factors affecting parents’ inclination towards private school system in Pakistan. It was a survey study. Data of this study is based on responses of 330 parents of elementary school students on a close ended questionnaire who were selected by multistage sampling. Data was analyzed applying percentage, mean, correlation, t−test and ANOVA statistics. It was explored that parents prefer private schools for the children because of satisfactory security measures, good and dedicated work of teachers, availability of modern technologies, better administrative policies and provision of training of students to perform well in external examinations. On the other hand, it was observed that due to good reputation of private schools in public, parents prefer these schools for show off purposes. In their views, mostly people who cannot afford private education, select government schools for children. Present study suggested that government should focus to equalize required facilities in all government schools. Managers in government schools should focus to improve their policies to attract people.
