Abstract: Technology has influenced instructional styles and enhanced learning opportunities for teachers. These innovative trends enable teachers in developing self-motivated and effective learning environments. The present paper carries out a comparison between the teachers of public and private schools about their digital skills. The researchers recruited 216 teachers from both sectors through two stage simple random sampling method. The data was composed by employing self-developed instrument having 9 indicators of digital skills. However, the consistency and validity of research instrument was confirmed while results were reported performing t-test and ANOVA. The findings show that public and private institutes mostly vary regarding the use of digital skills. It was also noted that private school teachers were more innovative in accessing digital skills. The paper suggests that initiatives may be taken to develop interest in public sector teachers regarding practice of technology moreover the government can also collaborate with private sector to learn from their digital experiences and train teachers from public sector.
