This study aimed to measure the quality of education in public secondary schools and those supported by the Punjab Education Foundation. The study's objective was to check which school system was following more quality indicators set by the Ministry of School Education. A total of 192 teachers were included in the research sample, with 96 teachers selected randomly from the public and 96 teachers selected from schools funded by the Punjab Education Foundation. In order to measure the quality of the school's administration, teaching staff, infrastructure, climate, and extracurricular activities, a 5-point Likert scale was used to collect data from teachers. Data were analyzed using different statistical tools, such as mean, standard deviation, independent sample t-test, and f-test. Public secondary schools were found better as compared to Punjab Education Foundations schools. Public schools were found following more quality standards. The quality of school administration, faculty, facilities, extracurricular activities, and school climate was better in public schools and were poor in Punjab Education Foundation Secondary Schools. It is recommended that Punjab Education Foundation Secondary Schools should follow quality indicators. School administrators and faculty members should increase their academic knowledge and professional skills.
