Abstract
This paper used survey data from government and private schools in two districts of Jammu & Kashmir-Pulwama and Srinagar. To explore systematic differences between the two school types. Private school students have higher test scores than government school students. However, in both private and government schools the overall quality is low and learning gains from one grade to the next are small. There is large variation in the quality of both school types and observed school and teacher characteristics are weakly correlated with learning outcomes.
