'''Divisional Public Schools and Colleges''' ('''DPS''' or '''DPSC'''), established in 1963, is a series of mega-schools at the [[Divisions of Pakistan|division level]] in [[Punjab, Pakistan|Punjab]], [[Pakistan]]. The series consists of one of the largest institutions providing education at school level in Pakistan. They are [[selective schools]]. The scheme of Divisional Public Schools was initiated in 1958-59, when the “Sharif Commission”, a special commission on national education for secondary education submitted detailed recommendations on primary through post-graduate education.

Such institutions were named Divisional Public Schools; the funds required to initiate their operation and maintenance were to be generated through private philanthropy. These institutions were not allowed to charge fee more than necessary expenditures.

All the Divisional Public Schools are the offshoots of this plan and owe their existence to the recommendations of the Sharif Commission.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dpslahore.net/general/introduction.php |title=Divisional Public School and Inter College Lahore |accessdate=2012-11-16 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120710155908/http://www.dpslahore.net/general/introduction.php |archivedate=2012-07-10 }}</ref> The first two Schools were simultaneously built in [[Faisalabad]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://dpsfsd.edu.pk/ |title=Divisional Public School & College, Faisalabad - Welcome |publisher=Dpsfsd.edu.pk |date=2012-04-23 |accessdate=2012-11-02}}</ref> and [[Model Town, Lahore]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dpslahore.net/ |title=Divisional Public School and Inter College Lahore |publisher=Dpslahore.net |date= |accessdate=2012-11-02}}</ref> in 1963.
