Abstract
In a current era, needs of IT resources are common to achieve the target goals. These segments can be a government, research institutes, industry, telecommunication and education. Today technologies are essential tools for any sector to perform daily activities in this competitive world. The businesses must have the ability to exploit the role of these technologies such as Information and Communication Technology (ICT). To use these technologies effectively, proper measures and planning is required. ICT has the potential to enable any sector to perform efficient activities and utilize the resources for better performance. Studies have shown that ICT has the capacity to dramatically improve the results in any sector. In this research we did conduct the analysis and comparison of private and government education sector in Pakistan to study the representation of ICT. The investigation of analysis we did discuss the effectiveness of ICT being utilized education further more we did suggest what measures can be taken to improve the effective role of ICT in the less beneficiary sector. The study established that the availability of ICT resources in schools is still very much wanting and very inadequate for the students to use. Because of the limited number of functional computers and the computer laboratory, accessibility is timetabled. It was found out that training was mainly limited to introduction to basic concepts of information technology, some application programs notably MS office suit and internet; contextual training of students on how to use ICT in learning was not in practice.
