Private SchoolsElite SchoolsModerate SchoolsLower Level Schools

Elite SchoolsExamples:

Atchison College, LahoreRoot School System

Positive Consequences:Environment, facilities and education is Top

Class.Highly qualified faculty.

Elite SchoolsNegative Consequences:

Fee structure is extremely high.They use to follow western culture.A common man can not even think about

sending their children to these schools.

Moderate SchoolsExamples:The EducatorsSt. Bonaventure's Higher Secondary,

SchoolThe City School

Moderate SchoolsPositive Consequences:

Environment and facilities are much better than government and lower private schools.

Education level is much better than government and lower level private schools.

Moderate SchoolsNegative Consequences:

Fee Structure is out of reach of a common man.

They use to disturb Parents for small issues.Expenses other than Fee are more than the

Fee.

Lower Level Private SchoolSchools normally we find in common areas.95% teachers here are Matric passed.64% are registered.Average fee of a Student is Rs. 1000/month

Lower Level Private SchoolPositive Consequences:

Better than government schools.Normally nearby home that is why Parents

prefer to send their children.Fee is affordable.

Lower Level Private SchoolNegative Consequences:

Less qualified teachers.Salary package is very low for the teachers.Often basic facilities are not available for

students.Education level is not as it should be.Every school prints its own copies & registers

and bound students to buy them, just to earn money.

ConclusionNo 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.

ConclusionEvery 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.”

RecommendationsMake 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.
