Should private schools receive government funding? Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
The growth of private
schools
is increased rapidly for the last
few years as education is being considered as a business than a service. Hundreds of Private institutes were started and if the government
is responsible for their maintenance, then
the growth of the government
schools
is limited. In my view, private schools
should not be dependent on government
money.
Firstly
, Considering study is good money earning area rather than providing it as a service to the public, many individuals and corporates start new schools
every academic year and a very high amount is being collected in terms of several fees like tuition fee
, admission fee
and owners of the private schools
can easily look after their schools
with the fee
amount.Thus
, they should not depend on the public fund
. Secondly
, if the government
is responsible for the well-being of the private schools
then
it is a burden on the government
and this
also
causes limited growth in the government
schools
. For example
, government
fund
can be spent on improving the basic needs of the government
schools
like dining rooms, toilets, furniture but, If this
fund
needs to be transferred to private schools
then
there is no improvement in the government
sector schools
as per one of the survey results.
Many kids are going to government
schools
as there is no fee
and the reason could be most of the communities are middle class or below the poverty line and they cannot afford the private school
fee
.Moreover
, there are government
schemes providing mid-day meals and free uniforms and books to government
school
going students. If government
has to Add an article
the government
fund
private schools
also
then
it is difficult to run the government
schemes and eventually school
dropouts will be increased and it is not a healthy sign for the societies and this
will also
put the localities into poverty and there might be a risk of students will turn as criminals.For instance
, a survey conducted on school
dropouts revealed that many of them are identified as thieves.
In conclusion, government
fund
should only be considered for its own schools
and no need to fund
the private schools
as private owners can manage with the fee
they collect.Submitted by kishore.likith on
