Quantitative paradigm was used to conduct this research. Heads of Govt. special education institutions in Punjab Province were considered as a population of this study. To choose the sample for this investigation, a random sampling procedure was used. The sample for this study consisted of 55 heads. The researchers came up with an indigenous scale. On a likert scale of 1 to 5, each statement was evaluated. Pearson product moment correlation analysis was carried out to investigate the relationship between system, school, classroom, student levels and outcomes). Structural equation model (SEM) was employed to examine mediating role of educational effectiveness including, school level, classroom level and student level between system level and outcomes. There was a positive relationship between the determinants of educational effectiveness including (system, school, classroom, student levels and outcomes) for the heads of institutions of the students with hearing impairment.
