CONCLUSION
No Comments on Government Schools. Lower Private School:
Low fee but no quality in education. Moderate Schools:
High fee and normal education. Elite Schools:
Quality education but extra ordinary expensive.
CONCLUSION
Every private school have its own rules and they change them whenever they want.
They make rules for their own self not for the students.
Most of them just prepare the students for the exam do not make them learn.
Sexual harassments are common with students specially in lower level schools.
ARE THESE SCHOOLS PROVIDING EDUCATION OR SELLING EDUCATION?
JUST MAKE MONEY?
THEIR PRIMARY PURPOSE IS TO “MAKE MONEY” NOT TO “PROVIDE EDUCATION.”
RECOMMENDATIONS
Make Education a Priority. Same syllabus for all schools either
government or private. Qualified teachers, May be Masters or at
least Bachelors. High remuneration package should be
offered to the teachers. Teaching should be a full time profession not
part time. Politicians and bureaucrats must send their
children to government schools.
