The topic of this study is the comparative analysis of learning problems experienced by the students of government and private schools. Objectives of the study were, to identify the learning problems faced by the students of government schools, to identify the learning problems faced by the students of private schools and to compare the learning problems of the students of government and private schools. For this purpose, the method of quantitative comparative research was adopted. This study was conducted in tehsil City of district Lahore. Sample of 400 male students of grade 5 from private and government schools were taken for this study. Interview schedule including five point Likert’s scale (Strongly Disagree (S.D), Disagree (D), Neutral (N), Agree (A) and Strongly Agree (S.A)) was formulated for this purpose. Quantitative analysis was run through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) v 26.0 including descriptive analysis (frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation) and independent one sample t test. The study evaluated the students' learning experience based on three indicators including the problems related to concentration, understanding and memorizing of lessons. Findings of this study conclude that private school students have fewer learning problems than government school students, and there is a significant difference between the two groups. This suggests that government schools should recognize the challenges faced by the students in order to address their learning needs.
