Schools play a vital role in the life of students because they learn the rules of their lives

there under the supervision of their teachers. Dronkers and Robert (2003) conducted research

having an aim to analyze the efficiency of both schools, i.e., public and private through a

comparative perspective. The researcher has used a qualitative research method in which the

analysis of public, independent private and government depend private schools have made taking

the schools from 19 OECD countries with the data of PISA 2000. The information has provided

the educational outcomes of the student aged 15 of reading and mathematics. However, the

researcher has also considered other factors such as student's & parent’s characteristics of

demography, behavior, and attitude. It has resulted that private schools that depend on

governments have more successful as compared to other public schools & it has analyzed

considering similar parents, students, and other social compositions. However, the conditions

and learning in both schools have not shown any differentiation. In conclusion, the effectiveness

has found initially dependent on the effectiveness of the social composition in all the 19 OECD

schools. The study is related to my topic because it gives me the reasons or factors that cause

effectiveness in schools and also gives the comparison of public and private schools that I can

use in my research as evidence.
