Identifying and Analyzing the Obstacles in Attaining Quality Education at the Secondary Level in District Kohat

Abstract

     This study aims to identify and analyze the obstacles that hinder the attainment of quality education at the secondary level in District Kohat. The specific objectives include identifying these obstacles, analyzing their impact on the overall quality of education, assessing current strategies and initiatives, and proposing recommendations for improvement. The population of the study consists of all secondary schools, students, and teachers in District Kohat, with a sample of 20 heads (principals) and 100 students. The research instruments utilized are self-developed questionnaires. The findings indicate that there is no significant association between respondents' opinions and the barriers to quality education in District Kohat. However, further analysis is required to gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between variables. It is recommended that the government takes measures to remove these obstacles and enhance the quality of education in secondary schools in District Kohat.
