Purpose: The main aim of this study is to examine (i) how rural and urban Higher Secondary School differs in their performance and (ii) what role they were playing in the education system of Sindh. Literature review: The researchers have examined the case for diversified education, and pointed out that the overall context within which the workplace demands more competence from students, the importance of language and technology, and greater levels of flexibility to carry out multiple tasks will also increase. Obviously, in many developing countries secondary school participation rates are low and could not grow as expected without changes in the structure and nature of their financing. Eight out of 10 of the world's children live in developing countries. Pakistan is also developing country and Sindh is province of it so it needs investigation into the same matter. Methods: The population of the study consisted of Principals of Public Higher Secondary Schools in rural and urban Sindh. The final sample consisted of 70 Principals, 30 from rural and 40 from urban Public Higher Secondary Schools of Sindh. Conclusion: It is observed by this research work that the 3-tier scheme of studies mentioned in National Education Policies 1979 and 2009 is the best and working successfully in the developed countries like USA, UK etc. Recommendation: The material presented by the authors does not necessarily represent the viewpoint of editors and the management of Indus Institute of Higher Education (IIHE) as well as the authors' institute.
Education in Pakistan: Problems and Their Solutions
This study was meant to explore and report the problems being confronted by the education in Pakistan and suggest for the resolution of these problems. Education plays the role of leadership in the society. The functions of the educational institutions are to develop the people physically, mentally, psychologically, socially and spiritually. It improves and promotes the economic, social, political and cultural life of the nation. There is no doubt in accepting the fact that education brings about a change in the social, political and cultural scenario of the country; though the change remains slow but it does have an impact on the society at large. Until now the role of secondary and college education in Pakistan has been simply preparation for tertiary education, which in the minds of most people means strictly a university education. All over the world universities are guiding and co-operating with the industrial and agricultural development organizations and they are developing their economics rapidly and meaningfully. There is a close link between education and development. In Pakistan, after more than five decades, the developmental indicators are not showing positive results. The participation rate at higher education is low comparatively to other countries of the region. There are problems of quality of staff, students, library and laboratory. Considering the gigantic problems of education in Pakistan, I select this topic for research.

Education System in Pakistan: Lessons Learned and the Way Forward
The Pakistan Development Review, 2009
After six decades of its existence, Pakistan finds itself in an educational quagmire. There is not much to show in terms of national, provincial and local indicators of a standard variety. At the international level, the country has earned the notoriety of being regularly lower down on all known indices and league tables on human development, competitiveness and governance. Neglect of education lies at the heart of the problem. This is surprising because the thinking on the nature of the educational system required for the newly emerging country had started quite early. An All Pakistan Educational Conference was held on November 27, 1947 in Karachi. Education thus was the subject of the very first professional conference held in the country, bringing together all the stakeholders. The Father of the Nation set the guidelines in his detailed message: “Under foreign rule for over a century, in the very nature of things, I regret, sufficient attention has not been paid to the education ...
