The Education imparted in both private and government school is based on different standards. While most of the private schools are affiliated to CBSE board, government schools are affiliated to ISCE or state board. There is not much difference between the curriculum set by these two different boards. Still, most of the parents believe that private schools try to go beyond and teach what is required for the level of entrance exams.

Apart from education, they provide proper infrastructure and equipment required for the physical development of children.

The ratio of teacher to student is small enough in government schools due to lack of classrooms and faculty. They try to accommodate maximum students in one classroom due to which teachers are not able to give individual attention. In fact, most of the government teachers are kept busy in non-teaching works. Government teachers are given duties other than teaching like preparing for the mid-day meal, taking surveys and making ID cards etc.
But In private Schools teachers, foremost duty is to monitor each & every student. thus proper attention is given to the students in Private schools.

8. Fee structure

Private Schools vs. Government schools in India

Though private schools try to provide top-notch facilities for overall development of children, they also charge high for all this. They sustain on student fee for any maintenance in school. High fee makes it difficult for low-income families to afford it. Whereas government schools impart free education up to class 8 so that lower section of society can afford it.

Conclusion:

Leaving some good and esteemed government schools, Most of the government schools are in poor conditions. Due to this, even the low-income families trying to send their kids to a private institute for better future. If the government starts funding for good average and monitoring schools, the conditions of government schools can be improved. Teachers should also be dedicated to their work. They should complete their job with honesty. Cooperation of both government and teacher can only change the existing image of government Schools.
