Difference between a private school and a regular school
Education is a fundamental right and not in it, as every law and every human rights declaration in the world says. Depriving someone of this right is tantamount to violating the law, because it is through education that a person develops his personal and intellectual development and finds the answers to many questions that arise in his mind. This is the reason why these educational institutions, whether public or private, are given special respect in the society, but this is not the case when education, like other things, is weighed on the scales of profit and loss and in the market. The same is the case with private schools in Pakistan. Here children are not considered as students but like a customer in the shop they are sold education in the form of product only and parents also put a burden on their pockets by offering this scheme. There is no one to ask the management of these private schools. There is no set standard for the tuition fees of these schools. The fee for the smallest school is more than five thousand per month. Admission fee is different. They provide everything from uniforms to pencils and at a much higher rate than the market rate. Despite charging so much, even if the school administration provides air-conditioning comfort in the summer, every child has to pay around Rs. It is very difficult for a common man to meet the expenses of these schools with his meager monthly income. As for the result of the children, the responsibility is shifted on the parents in the same way that the child spends only six hours in school. While the children are not taken care of at home and if the result is good luck then the credit goes to the school children. Now don't put so much burden on the parents !!!
It is argued that then why do parents send their children to private schools and do not send them to government schools? No force can force them to do so! Yes, this is true. But the condition of government schools is also in front of our eyes. There are no chairs or tables. And if they are, then the teacher is missing. Unfortunately, the funds allocated for government schools are not spent on them. And these weaknesses further increase the earnings and whims of private schools. Now that English is also the official language in Pakistan, English has a special status. It has become necessary to know how to write and understand. And understanding this, parents turn to these English schools for their children, whether their resources allow it or not. Since the owners of these schools have direct or indirect affiliation with political parties, special concessions are made to them. However, Article 2 of the Constitution of Pakistan states that all are equal before the law and the law treats all citizens equally. In 2019, the Supreme Court ruled against charging extra fees for private schools, but this is not being implemented. Therefore, the concerned government agency and PEIRA should from time to time inquire about the tuition fees from the management of these schools and fix a certain limit for them which is considered illegal to exceed.
