Abstract: The private sector in education is playing very important role in delivering quality education. A quite reasonable proportion of students, 34% of the total enrolled students are in private sector schools. Public sector has homogeneous and traditional type of management structures whereas private sector has various, innovative and different type of management structures. The research study was designed to find out the different type of management structures at secondary school level particularly in private sector. The population of the study consisted of the private secondary schools affiliated with Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Islamabad. The data was collected by analyzing the prospectus, handouts, and pamphlets available to the researcher. It was found that there are seven broad types of management structures in different schools. The structures were ranked by giving them management structure score on the basis of the variety, horizontal layout, vertical lay out and gender wise positions held by different key figures running the schools from day to day. It was recommended that a training mechanism may be developed to provide training to private school administrators, the schools should display their rules and regulations in black and white, a minimum qualification for managers and schools administrators may also be made compulsory by the boards.The study was conducted by myself and there is no other orgnaisation that contributed in the study, neither any one has conflicting interests.
