Abstract
This article focuses on the analysis of classroom management approaches in public and private sector at school level in Pakistan. Classroom management is a significant part of an effective teaching-learning process. Due to an effective classroom management, students flourish in a positive class climate and a compassionate environment. From a student’s perspective, effective classroom management provides them the opportunities to socialize themselves while learning.

But behavioral problems were not resolved in public schools but in private schools. Students’ behavioral problems are resolved.
