Private Schools: Private school is a type of school which is neither funded nor managed by the government. They are controlled and administered by the private body and wholly or partly funded by the student’s tuition fee, which is comparatively higher than government school.
Government schools: Government school is a type of school which is funded and controlled by the local, state and national government. Education in government schools is offered and mandated to all children without charge. Since these schools are controlled by government, they are wholly or partly funded by taxation.
Here is the comparison of both type of schools based on following factors:
1. Quality of Education
Providing quality education to children is ultimate dream of every parent. The biggest difference parent finds between private and government schools is medium of learning. The mode of communication of many private schools is English. Private schools try to inculcate English in the daily life of students. In fact, now, most of the private institutions teach other foreign languages besides English. It attracts parents whereas children in government institutions are taught in regional language.
2. Discipline with learning
Besides providing the quality education, Private schools pay attention toward discipline of every student. As a part of routine, punctuality, hygiene, and uniform is checked every day. They make efforts in grooming and developing the personality of every individual. In government schools, these things are hardly taken care of.
3. Co-curricular activities
Private schools bring more ideas related to extra-curricular and social activities or inter-school competitions for engaging students. Through these activities, they prepare children to face challenges in future. They try to boost confidence and improve the personality of each individual. Besides some good government schools, these activities are less or absent.
4. Academic standards
The Education imparted in both private and government school is based on different standards. While most of the private schools are affiliated to CBSE board, government schools are affiliated to ISCE or state board. There is not much difference between the curriculum set by these two different boards. Still, most of the parents believe that private schools try to go beyond and teach what is required for the level of entrance exams.
5. Facilities provided
Most of the government institutes lack basic facilities like electricity and proper classrooms etc.whereas private school tries to provide an environment that helps in learning better. Apart from education, they provide proper infrastructure and equipment required for the physical development of children.
6. Dedication of faculty
Certainly, teachers in government institutes are highly qualified yet government institutes are not able to show a better result than private schools. The reason behind it is the dedication of government teachers and faculty. The teachers are not much dedicated to government schools. In private schools, teachers monitor result of every individual through regular class tests. Private schools are accountable for the results of their students and hence their teachers are more dedicated & hardworking.
