public vs private primary schools
1. A private school is autonomous and
generates its own funding through various
sources like student tuition, private grants
and endowments.
A public school is government funded and all
students attend free of cost.

9. Management will concentrate on the
student’s results regularly. – Private
Teachers are answerable for their poor
results – Private
No much care about the results –
Government

salary may be decremented – Private
Anyway they get their salary. – Government
10. Smart class rooms with projectors
Well equieped laboratories
Digital library
Well conditioned benches and chairs
Clean toilets
11. Parents can question the management about
their children’s performance since they do
pay money– Private
Management conduct regular meetings with
the parents – Private
Parents come to know the level of the
children
They can coach them at home
It is not seen in government schools
12. May or may not be certified but often hold a
graduate degree or higher education.
Teachers must meet all state-mandated
requirements and be highly proficient in their
subject area (i.e. have at least a BA with a
major in their subject). Most teachers have
Masters Degrees.
13. Teachers are often found chatting in the staff room
- Government.
No such chance – Private.
Teachers use students for their own work-public
school
Those students will be treated in good manner
14. Private schools follows good Discipline
Dress code
certain hair style
cleanliness
shaving
Troublesome behavior at a public school will
result detention.
15. Public schools must accept all students with
few exceptions.
Behavior is one of those exceptions
A private school, on the other hand, accepts
any student it wishes
It is not required to give a reason why it has
refused to admit anyone.
16. Violence in public schools is a top priority for
administrators and teachers.
Private schools are generally safe places.
buildings is carefully monitored and
controlled.
But Both private and public school
administrators have child's safety on top of
their list of priorities.
17. I have seen that kids from low-income
families have difficulty in learning. These
kids are inhibited about where they come
from and feel lost. Kids in my school have
always complained about the lack of clean
toilets, fans and lights in the classroom.
And even though we have taken the matter
to the administration, nothing has been
done. All government schools have a
budget for buying equipment required to
conduct practical sessions, but they don’t
do so. When we are burdened with other
work like election duties, paper correction,
etc, it is the children who suffer most. If we
miss four days of work, it takes 15 days to
catch up. And, when a teacher is replaced,
the rhythm of learning is disrupted. I
believe that if teachers in government
schools get better support, they can
function just as well as private schools.

18. For some people government schools are better
And for some people private school may feel better
since they have good facilities and quality of
education
At my point private schools are much better than
government schools
Government should come forward to improve the
standard of public school.
Also funds provided by the government should be
used in proper way
