Abstract

This study evaluates the quality of education at private institutions in Tehsil Wari Dir Upper, with an emphasis on student perspectives and the sector's contribution to educational advancement. The study's population consisted of students enrolled in grades 11 and 12 at private institutions. There are ten private institutions with a total student of 795. The study's sample size was determined using the Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table, which showed a needed sample of 260 students. Out of them, 246 students filled out and returned the surveys. Data was collected through a self-developed, closed-ended questionnaire, which contained ten items. This questionnaire has been validated by subject experts in the field. The items were perceived using a five-point Likert scale. SPSS-27 (Crop, 2020) software has been used to analyze the collected data. The study uses descriptive statistics to investigate data, showing students have a positive perception of educational quality, focusing on successful SLO-based teaching and multimedia tools. However, differing perspectives exist on continuous evaluations and co-curricular possibilities. The report emphasizes private institutions' role in education. Overall, the findings highlight the efficacy of private education in the region and provide topics for further study and policy development.
