School mapping being a form of local planning is dealt as a local subject but has national and international impacts. This is a dynamic process which initiates with detailed diagnoses of the local situation, and on the basis of national objectives and international norms, provides for future educational needs at the local level and to indicates the obligatory measure required to achieve these needs. Ironically, local and national planners in Kyhber Pakhtunkhwa and Pakistan still show reluctance in using School Mapping Techniques. As a result the resources are misused, supervision becomes difficult and ghost and un-operational schools are not uncommon. This qualitative study focuses to address the customary conditions of school mapping in twenty four districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for diagnosis of the major factors that make the educational planners reluctant and in addition to determine the causes of not realizing its importance in Educational Management Information System (EMIS). This makes the study unique as no such effort has ever made before in the area to probe the matter and suggest remedies. Data were collected by means of interview schedule with dealing EMIS managers at provincial level of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province and Executive District Officers of Peshawar, Nowshera, Mardan, Kohat, Karak, Charsadda, Abbottabad and Mansehra districts while from the rest of sixteen districts telephonic conversation was focused as a major tool for collecting data. The results show that respondents both at Provincial and District level are well aware of the importance of school mapping but were reluctant to implement it practically due to very minor or no reasons.
