This research was done by descriptive method and survey was performed at various secondary schools of District Quetta. All the government and private secondary schools of district Quetta were taken as population of the study. A Two Stage Sampling Technique was adopted in data analysis. In the first stage, there was a random selection of secondary schools of Quetta District on public and private basis. In the second stage the data of the set goals including the infrastructure, pedagogy, and the academic achievements of these randomly selected public and private schools were collected through questionnaires. For the data collection tool, a check list method was used in which standard infrastructure facilities were mentioned such as the school building, number of class rooms, play grounds, canteen, tuck-shop, furniture, multi-media, projector etc. each of infrastructure facility was checked on the basis of its availability.
For academic achievements’ assessment, the data collection tool was the last four years’ result of the Balochistan Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BBISE) Quetta, whereas the pedagogical evaluation was done through questionnaire that were filled from the students of the under studied schools. The data analysis was done through descriptive and inferential statistics. The data exhibited a significant difference between the government and private school teachers regarding the understanding of pedagogy. Thus, it was inferred that government schools’ teachers were more focused on the understanding of pedagogy than the private school teachers.
It was concluded that both the government and private schools of Quetta city were performing well. However, there is a lot of room for improvement for both types of schools to make the educational standard higher. The educational administrators and managers can benefit from the results.
