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

It is often argued that the

government

should allocate larger sums of funds for the

education

budget and provide monetary support for public

schools

.

Moreover

, in my ,opinion private

schools

do not require assistance from the state for funding.

This

essay will discuss why

government

funds should be limited to public

schools

. First of all, private

schools

have regular cash inflows, which support operating costs incurred by the

education

centre.

In addition

, they charge large deposits and higher term fees from the

parents

to provide quality

education

for their children.

For instance

, a survey shows, in Sri Lanka

parents

spend an average of quarter million rupees on school deposits.

On the other hand

, public

education

centres do not receive

such

funding from

parents

and provide free

education

as well.

Thus

, it is essential for the

government

to inject funds into public

schools

in order for the kids to have better futures.

Secondly

, it is important for children to be a part of extra-curricular activities.

However

, students who attend public

schools

lack the opportunity to be a part of

such

activities,

due to

insufficient investment in the curriculum. Private

schools

are often preferred by wealthy families.

Whereas

, families who cannot afford expensive

education

send their kids to public

schools

.

For example

, in ,India youngsters who attend public

schools

in rural areas do not get to explore their interest in sports.

Hence

, the

government

should spend an adequate amount of money on supporting public

schools

to discover more talents. In conclusion, private

schools

have the privilege of receiving monetary support from

parents

and other sources.

However

, public

schools

have only one source, which is the state.

Thus

,

government

funding should be limited to public

schools

.
