Divisional Public Schools and Colleges (DPS or DPSC), established in 1963, is a series of mega-schools at the division level in Punjab, Pakistan.
The series consists of one of the largest institutions providing education at school level in Pakistan.
Such institutions were named Divisional Public Schools; the funds required to initiate their operation and maintenance were to be generated through private philanthropy.
All the Divisional Public Schools are the offshoots of this plan and owe their existence to the recommendations of the Sharif Commission.
