This paper examines and rejects two normative justifications for low-fee private schools (LFPS), whose expansion throughout the Global South in recent years has been significant. The first justification – what I shall call the ideal thesis – contends that LFPS are the best mechanism to expand access to quality education, particularly at the primary level, and that the premise of their success is that they reject educational equality and state intervention in educational affairs, traditionally associated with public schools, embracing instead educational adequacy and unregulated markets for education. Against this thesis, the paper argues that an ideal educational arrangement must not do away with educational equality and some degree of state interference. The other justification for LFPS – the secondbest thesis – contends that although LFPS do not represent the ideal state of affairs, they nonetheless bring us a step closer to the ideal of universal primary education; they are a ‘realistic’ approximation to that goal. Against the second-best thesis, the paper argues that this justification commits the approximation fallacy: by deviating from the ideal educational arrangement LFPS may obstruct rather than facilitate its achievement.

The phase of primary level education is the most important phase throughout the educational process. The purpose of this research paper was to critically analyze the quality of education in Pakistan at primary level. The method used for the research was qualitative and descriptive. For clear understanding of underlying theme the article was divided into three sections: the first section gave the brief introduction to importance of primary education and educational structure in Pakistan, the second discussed the education in Islamic context, and the third dealt with the reshaping of educational structure with respect to quality education. The review of literature revealed that the quality of education in Pakistan was far from its objectives, personality development of children, grooming of learners, as well as critical and creative thinking. The study also found that the education we gave to our children was not up to the mark as it was not fulfilling the requirements of quality education that’s why the generation, we educated was unfaithful, disloyal, immoral and highly corrupted. Moreover, Islam had given emphasize on child development from all aspects; physical, intellectual, moral, spiritual, social and economic. In this context, the author recommends to follow the infrastructure of Islamic education to develop the child’s personality in comprehensive way. For this purpose, objectives of education, pedagogy, curriculum, and assessment system must be revised in the light of Islamic teachings.
