Abstract
This descriptive study was carried out in six districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
(KP) Province. The focus of the study was on analysing the causes of education
quality deterioration at the secondary school level in KP. Of the purposively
selected study population of 1006 secondary school teachers and 20676 students
of 9th and 10th grades, the sample included 302 (30%) teachers and 6203 (30%)
students. Two self-constructed opinionnaires containing 45 items each were used
for gathering data from the teachers and students. This paper focuses on
discussing students’ perspectives on the causes of quality of education issues at
the secondary school level. The main findings of the study are that deterioration
of quality at the secondary school level is due to in-adequate mechanism of
monitoring and supervision, defective examination system, lack of needed
infrastructural and physical facilities, over-crowded classrooms, shortage of
qualified teaching staff, un-warranted political interference, obsolete teaching
methodologies and lack of modern instructional facilities. Some crucial
indicators for quality improvement are appointment of competent teaching staff,
proper training of teachers and principals, and provision of infrastructural and
instructional facilities.
