The questions that were answered through this study reveal the information about the reasons for joining after-school programs, time spent by students in different activities after-school, current standard of after-school programs as well as suggestions to improve the existing practices. Data analysis reveals that secondary school students are over-burdened by academic load and they find very little room for non-academic activities. Quantitative data analysis reveals that there was no significant difference in the responses of male/female, public sector or private sector, English Medium and Urdu Medium students.
