I strongly disagree with this view and this essay will discuss with valid
arguments as to why government funding is not required for private schools.
Private schools are known to have better infrastructure, better future
opportunities and well trained teachers [which in turn leads to better standard
of education compared to state or government schools.] To provide all these
facilities, they have higher fees structure [which only a certain group of
population can afford]. For example, CEOs of multinational companies can
certainly afford spending on their child’s education and so can celebrities. This
enables children of financially sound parents to receive good education [which
makes them more successful in future].
Firstly, by providing financial aid to the private schools, the government can
make sure {that there are some seats available for those students who have
weak financial background}. This will bring equality within the society and
[poor families [who are not able to afford] will not be left behind]. This will be a
positive step for a developing society and nation.
Secondly, it is seen that in many countries such as India public schools have
poor infrastructure, while private schools have far better facilities. Hence, if the
government provides financial support to such privately owned schools, poor
families too will be able to send their offspring to private schools and they will
also be able to use the same infrastructure. A better infrastructure is
indispensable for a better future and growth. Moreover, it can be seen that
children from privileged backgrounds know better about the technologies and
study options, and hence through regular interaction with such students, poor
students can also learn a lot more.
