The legislative framework leading public-private partnerships (PPPs) in Lahore's public primary schools is examined in this study, along with its implications for teacher recruitment, funding, and general educational access and quality. With a population of over 123 million, Punjab is home to 32,354 government schools and 174,520 primary teachers teaching about 11 million pupils. There are 522 public schools in Lahore with 15,511 teachers teaching 645,267 students. Concerns about resource distribution, teacher deployment, and the role of private entities in funding and running public schools arise as PPPs take over the education sector. This study evaluates provincial and regional acts regarding PPPs to determine their capacity to improve education. The purpose of this study is to draw attention to this gap. Quantitative methodology, a multistage random sampling technique, was used to collect a representative sample of public primary school teachers in Lahore. The primary tool used to gather data is a questionnaire. This study examines the impact of PPP-influenced policies on teachers' job satisfaction, retention, and educational equity. It identifies legislative policy gaps that affect teacher placement and funding, mentioning their role in decreasing or widening disparities. The study concludes the following from the findings: updating policy frameworks to ensure PPPs enhance the quality and equity of education. This research contributes to the discussion regarding the good governance of Lahore's public primary schools in terms of evidence-based improvement in PPP regulations.
