The purpose of this study was to find out the influence of school type on students’ attitudes towards mathematics at the
secondary level in Quetta, Pakistan. The sample in this study was 387 students of grade nine of which 186 were government
and 201 were private secondary school students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected through an
adapted questionnaire and students were asked to indicate their degree of agreement with each statement in the questionnaire,
from ‘strongly disagree’ to ‘strongly agree’. Non-parametric equivalent of the independent t-test was used for statistical
analysis. According to the results of the analysis, overall students, irrespective of government and private schooling systems,
indicated highly positive attitudes towards mathematics. Findings also revealed that students from the private schools showed
a slightly high degree of confidence in learning mathematics as compared to students from the government schools. Some
recommendations have been put forward for policy and practice in the light of the research study findings.
