Abstract

This research study aims to assess the impact of governance on the quality of tertiary education and the moderating role of financial resources. Data were collected from the principals of public sector affiliated colleges. Regression analysis was applied for hypothesis testing. Results demonstrate that governance has a significant and positive impact on the quality of education. Financial resources have a moderating effect on the relationship between governance and education quality. This study provides theoretical implications and practical recommendations to diverse interested parties, such as educational policymakers, institutional leaders, and administrators, who should try their best to distinguish the diversity of affiliated colleges and modify governance structures, management practices and the mechanisms for quality assurance to address the needs of each institution accordingly. © 2024, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women University.
