Thirty private secondary schools were operational in Kurram Agency. The population of 30 schools and their respective 30 principals were taken as sample of the study for questionnaires. Whereas, 150 teachers, 300 parents and 260 students of 30 private secondary schools were selected through cluster random sampling procedure while for interview six private secondary schools, three each from Upper Kurram and Lower Kurram were chosen on the basis of access. Data were collected through four separate questionnaires and interviews which were validated through a pilot study in 2013. Data were then computed and interpreted by simple percentages and Chi-Square at a 0.05. The findings revealed that majority of the private secondary school teachers were academically qualified but one fourth of them were untrained and just less than half were not professionally qualified for secondary classes. Teachers were not satisfied with their pay because of having no job security and reasonable pay. Private sector had higher percentages of student passed; A1 and A-Grade holders while lower number of failure, B, C and D- Grade holder students in SSC examinations during (2009 – 2013). Management was effective and parents were fully satisfied about their children’s’ progress.
