Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:


The report on the 2012-13 Pakistan survey (https://www.dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR290/FR290.pdf) includes the household questionnaire in Appendix F. On page 278 of the report you will see the questions (in English) about schooling. There is no question about whether the school attended is public or private. I also cannot find a variable in the data set which makes that distinction. Perhaps the reference was to the current DHS survey in Pakistan, which is just finishing data collection this month. I cannot easily check the questionnaire for that survey. It would be very unusual to include a question on the type of school. The data from the current survey will probably not be available until 2019.
