Abstract: 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.

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.
