Final Year Project

Project Title

Comparing the Impact of School Type on Education Index: Public, Private, and NGO Schools

Description

The purpose of this research is to identify which type of school has successfully increased the education index and, in turn, the education component of the Human Development Index of Pakistan. The benefit of conducting this research will be that, rather than having one education index representing the education landscape of Pakistan, the paper will be able to show within the different districts of Pakistan whether one type of school is doing better than the others. This will help acknowledge the efforts of these types of schools in different provinces and districts of Pakistan over the years and identify how other types of schools can also succeed in delivering such an outcome across different districts.
