Educating our children with a high quality academics, along with empowering them with a proper upbringing and knowledge is every parent's dream. It's an emotional journey when all our children go to school, and we are excited about providing them with a bright future. We all know there are government and private schools which operate in India. Education has truly improved in terms of schools across every district in India.
The functioning of government schools is minimal, lacking quality, so people prefer private schools. Even though government schools in some states are effective and have improved their standards. The private school dominance is still visible and increasing due to its colourful facilities and infrastructure. This creates expectation and comparison of elite children going there and the government lacking support shifts everything to private. School kids going in big school buses with quality uniforms and dressing makes poor individuals also attend private schools. The demand keeps on increasing. Now, almost 70% of individuals try to join private schools only.
Have you ever thought about why private schools charge around 2 lakh rupees per year for a 3rd standard child?
* What are they teaching ?
* Why are they charging so much ?
* Studying in private schools can only improve my child’s life ?
These are the frequent questions which pop in our heads. The high charging fees along with teachers salaries and facilities make it expensive. More than education, private entities focus on swimming pools, security, digital tech-based education, big seminars, and air-conditioned classrooms. These kinds of facilities make them popular with celebrity kids or elite level joining and increasing the footfall of more and more children. During the annual days, many popular celebrities visit their campus and school institutions, which gives them better promotions.
The private schools are opened as non-profit organisations, which gives them tax-free benefits from the governments. According to section 8, private schools should be opened as a trust or society, making them non-profitable, but in reality it is only on documents. The real income comes from uniforms bought from a particular store along with books, stationary items and transport charges. Only hiring fresher teachers as experienced teachers would expect high salaries, making it expensive task. These schools are mostly under the control of politicians, and we keep on listening to their close associates or relatives performing official duties. Overall, the private school business focusses more on facilities and infrastructure than real education.
* All the books and curriculum are decided by the education ministry, but how come are these private schools different?
* Are students who study in private schools more intelligent than government schools ?
* Why is society preferring private schools?
These kinds of circumstances make many middle-class families panic, making it difficult about the future of many children.
