| Ielts - Private Schools? Disparity? |
Privately
run schools have always been in the eye of storm over their role in terms of
methods of imparting education. People have always felt that these institutions
afford such benefits to their students which other schools cannot, so these
should be closed.
Private schools nurture and further social concept of “Haves
and Have nots", as they extensively invest into expensive educational facilities,
which is out of reach of other schools. Smart class concepts, sprawling libraries
and laboratories are a far cry for other institutions. Furthermore, involving experts
from industry and other agencies and organizing competitive events, in an attempt,
to provide extra exposure and foster intellect, among students, often courts
controversies. These facilities create serious disparities in availability of
equal opportunities in education, thereby impeding even spread of education, and
thus creating a wedge between sections from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
Besides this, private schools often offer unnecessary frills
of leisure activities, like swimming pools, etc. and extracurricular
activities, like sports and art. This tends to place students of private
schools a league ahead of their counterparts studying in other schools, as the
pupils of other institutions are never able to cope up with the competition.
However, closing private educational organizations would be
a recipe to disaster, as these agencies have brought about innovation in every
aspect of education. The adoption of new methods to train the faculty, to
deliver courses, and educate the students has resulted in churning out academic
excellence. This costs a great deal money which is usually sourced from the
students itself, and if someone is interested in availing such facilities then
how can the private institutions be held responsible for being unfair to
others.
Henceforth, closing private schools for such a lame excuse would
be quite farcical and undesirable.
