The non-government Secondary Schools (NGSSs) in Bangladesh comprise more than 95 per cent of the total schools in the secondary (general) sub-sector. The study tries to relate improved availability presence of physical facilities, teachers (i.e., more educated and/or trained), financial resources and school-management (i.e., regular School Management Committee) with the performance of the NGSSs in rural Bangladesh. It is observed that the performance of the schools at the public exams is positively explained by the existence of regular School Management Committee and timely availability of salary to the teachers.
