Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to know the conditions and services of primary Government Schools across four districts (Jhelum, Chakwal, Attock and Rawalpindi) of Rawalpindi division, for consecutive three years (2012-2015). Using District Profile Education surveys from 2012 to 2015, it was found that there is a decline in performances by primary schools. The trend shown by chakwal was poor of all. As far as building conditions for schools, availability of electricity and drinking water along with other facilities at primary schools are concerned, Rawalpindi and Jhelum district declined in each variable (school building condition, lack of latrines, boundary wall around school and drinking water). However, Attock district has shown favorable trend from year 2012-2015 with improved condition for primary schools. In light of the above findings, it is recommended that there is a dire need to improve the school infrastructure and to ensure the child friendly environment in order to bring as well as stay children in the school to complete their study.
