Write about the following topic: Should private schools receive government funding? Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Education

is the backbone of every nation. Private

schools

are doing most of the heavy lifting.

Although

I believe that schooling should be free. But government funding will be an excellent method to raise the standard of

education

in private institutes.

However

, I

also

reckon funding the public is essential, which will be discussed in the upcoming paragraphs. There are several reasons governments should fund the other

schools

and support the public ones.

Firstly

, It is motivation. Since private

schools

are purely profit-oriented businesses, they have more reasons to improve their standards and, in most cases, are better equipped than public ones.

For instance

, there was no computer lab in the school where I studied. But

this

was not the case with my younger brother. Meanwhile, the public

schools

in my hometown still use the methods of my parents' time.

Secondly

, the governments cannot meet the demand. It is practically impossible for governments to have enough public

schools

to fulfil the entire country's

education

needs.

For instance

, a recent DAWN study reports that the population growth trend in Karachi city requires more than 39000

schools

by 2025. While it currently is just a little shy of having 35000

schools

, of which only 2000 are public.

Therefore

, authorities look up to entrepreneurs to cover the gap.

Similarly

, entrepreneurs rely on incentives and funding to start new

schools

. In conclusion, private

schools

may not provide free schooling and come across as profit-hungry businesses. Still, these are essential for providing better

education

and reaching all the corners of the country.
