Differences in students' Mathematics achievement are accounted by many factors of which gender and school system are two contributing variables. This study aimed to explore the differences in grade 10 students' Mathematics achievement across gender and school systems (public and private) in Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan. The study sample comprised 356 grade 10 students selected through stratified random sampling. Of these, 165 students were from public and the remaining191 students were enrolled in private schools. The sample represented boys (it = 187) and girls (n = 169). A cross-sectional survey was employed and data collected through a newly developed and validated Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT). Data were analysed using the non-parametric equivalence of the independent t-test. Results showed that students' overall score in MAT was 31.5%. Furthermore, students' performed slightly better in MCQs than CRQs. Of the four content domains in MAT, information handling was the easiest. Furthermore, students' performed better in the knowledge domain as compared to the application and reasoning domains but the difference was not significant. Gender comparison of MAT overall scores revealed girls' better performance than boys but the difference was not significant (p > 0.05). Likewise, gender comparison indicated no significant differences for students' scores in MCQs and CRQs, content domains and cognitive domains (p > 0.05 for all). Within school comparison exhibited no significant gender differences in the overall performance of both public and private schools. However, within public schools girls performed significantly better in numbers & operations, algebra (p < 0.01) and lower level of cognition i.e. knowledge (p < 0.05). Nevertheless, within private schools no significant gender difference was observed in any category of MAT. However, comparison of school systems revealed significantly better performance of private schools to public schools in all categories of MAT. This study provides insights into differences in students' Mathematics performance in relation to their gender and the schools attended. It provided information about students' knowledge in various content and cognitive domains of Mathematics for policy and practice. This study can be replicated nationally using MAT. A qualitative aspect can be added to explore the reasons for students' performances in Mathematics.

خلیق حسین ممتازؔ (۱۹۳۷ء۔پ) اصل نام ہے اور ممتازؔ تخلص کرتے ہیں۔ آپ پٹھان کوٹ ضلع گورداسپور میں پیدا ہوئے۔ ان کے والد حکیم نیا زحسین نیاز اردو اور پنجابی کے اچھے شاعر تھے۔(۹۲۵)آپ کا شعری کلام’’ابلاغ‘‘ ،’’امروز‘‘،’’آدابِ عرض‘‘،’’تجوید نو‘‘ اور ’’ادبی ایڈیشن‘‘ جنگ میں چھپتا رہا۔ آپ کا شعری مجموعہ ’’اساس فکر‘‘ ۲۰۰۵ء میں طہٰ پبلی کیشنز لاہور سے شائع ہوا۔

Every activity in the education administration process is directed to achieve educational goals. In the management of character-based education, it is also necessary to have good coordination and supervision or supervision from the leadership. Keywords:  

The Study of Usability of Computer Labs in Secondary Level in Public and Private Schools in Punjab

Present age is the age of ICT. Due to the advancement in computer technology, the whole world has turned into a global village. ICT is making magnificent changes in every walk of life including education. Proper use of computer technology is a source to enhance the educational skills, knowledge and teaching methodology. Use of ICT can enhance teachers’ knowledge, skills and competencies. Use of ICT can also improve the quality of teaching and learning. The aim of this study was to check the proper usability of computer labs in public and private secondary schools in Punjab. The objectives of the study were: 1) To compare the availability of ICT facilities in public and private secondary schools’ computer labs; 2) To know the extent to which computer labs are being used in public and private secondary schools; 3) To know about the usefulness of computer labs in public and private secondary schools; 4) To find out the quality of computer labs in public and private secondary schools; 5) To know about the problems that students face to access the computer lab; and 6) To formulate the recommendations for the effective use of computer labs. Following research questions were made to achieve above stated objectives: 1) Is there any significant difference between public and private secondary schools regarding the availability of ICT facilities in computer labs? 2) Are computer labs working effectively at the secondary level both in public and private schools? 3) What is the usefulness of computer labs in public and private secondary schools? 4) What is the standard of quality in maintenance of computer labs in the public and private secondary schools? 5) What are the problems that students face to access the computer lab? The study was descriptive in nature and the quantitative approach was used by the researcher to conduct this study. All the students of secondary level, Head teachers and IT teachers of public and private secondary schools were the target population of the study. The study was delimited to Faisalabad division. A sample of 10% was drawn from accessible population. The clustered stratified random technique was used to select the research subjects for obtaining data. The Head teacher, IT teacher and ten students from each selected sample schools were included the sample. xxi A self-developed questionnaire and a checklist were used as instruments in the study. Three types of questionnaires one for students, one for head teacher and one for IT teacher were developed at five point Likert scale for data collection. The checklist was used to collect data regarding condition and utilization of computer labs. The collected data were tabulated, analyzed and interpreted. The Frequencies, Percentage, Mean, and Standard Deviation were used as descriptive statistics for organizing and summarizing data while Chi-square test, Independent Samples t-test, and one-way ANOVA were used as inferential statistical strategies to analyze data. The study recommends that Provide more ICT facilities in computer labs such as video cameras; multimedia projector; overhead projector; generator; and air conditioner at secondary level school both at the public and private sector; Use of computer lab may be made compulsory for all students at secondary level; One IT teacher is not sufficient; there at least two IT teachers may be appointed at secondary level schools’ computer labs; At least one computer technician may be appointed at the secondary level schools to solve the technical problems of the computer lab; Students may be provided more time to use computer lab; Provide at least one generator, UPS or Solar system to solve the problem of energy crisis; Department may provide sufficient funds for the maintenance of computer labs; Department may provide technical support for the better utilization of ICT resources; and School administration and management may collaboratively make effective plans for the usability of computer labs at the secondary level. It is also recommended that similar studies may be conducted in other provinces of Pakistan to compare the usability of computer labs in public and private sectors at the secondary level.
