U ovome istraživanju ispituje se kvaliteta obrazovanja u privatnim srednjim školama u KhyberPakhtunkhwi u Pakistanu. Istraživanje je deskriptivnoga karaktera. Populacija ispitanika sastojala se od ravnatelja, nastavnika i učenika privatnih srednjih škola u Kohatu. Ravnatelji svih 30 privatnih srednjih škola odabrani su za uzorak ispitanika, a tehnikom slučajnoga uzorkovanja odabran je ostatak ispitanika. Izrađena su tri različita upitnika po modelu Likertove skale od 5 stupnjeva. Podatci su interpretirani s pomoću jednostavnih postotaka. Rezultati su pokazali da je većina nastavnika privatnih srednjih škola stručna, no nisu bili zadovoljni svojom plaćom i strukturom zaposlenika u školi. Zaključak je da škole prate kurikul koji propisuje nadležni odbor. U školama postoje laboratoriji za prirodoslovne predmete, no u knjižnicama nedostaju moderna i suvremena literatura.

Ključne riječi: privatne škole; prateći objekti; kvalificirani nastavnici; srednjoškolska razina obrazovanja.
