Some individuals hold the opinion that studying in private schools is better for students, whereas other

thinks that these schools are detrimental for society. I will discuss my views in upcoming paragraphs. I
personally in favour of latter view.

Proponents of studying in private schools have own views to support. Firstly, most private schools offer
smaller classroom size and so the child can receive mare individual attention from teachers. Secondly,
private schools offer better academic and extracurricular programs. As a result, there are lower dropout
rates. Finally, there is less on-campus violence in private schools as compared to government schools.
This is because students realize that their parents are spending huge sums of money on their schooling,
and so they are more serious in studies.

On the other hand, there is less diversity as compare to public or government schools. Only children
from higher socio-economic background get into such schools. As a result, children will meet fewer
peers from diverse backgrounds. Secondly, private schools do not conform strictly to educational
regulations. For example, they may not follow the national core curriculum and add or delete subjects
according to their well. So, parents have to do a lot of effort to select the right private school for their
child.

I believe that private secondary schools create imbalance in the society. Only children from affluent
background can afford these schools. The advantaged children of poor backgrounds find it very difficult
to study in these schools. So they cannot compete with children who studied in these schools when they
apply for university education. So, such schools increase the gap between rich and poor.

To sum up, private schools provide quality education and have some advantages. However, their
disadvantages to the society cannot be ignored.
