The Advantages of Private Schools

The past two decades have witnessed the thriving of private schools in China. Nowadays, learning institutions are no longer run solely¹ by the state. Personally, I believe that the merits of private schools outweigh² their demerits.

A threshold advantage of private  schools is that they have more freedom compared to their public counterparts in terms of choosing curriculum. Therefore, students are more likely to receive an education catering³ to their individual aptitudes⁴. Furthermore, previously⁵ all schools, whether primary, high school or university, were operated by the state and this kind of uniformity has adversely⁶ affected⁷ diversity. Students are taught the same subjects regardless of their own inclinations⁸. However, this trend may be altered by the birth and development of private schools which are equipped with ample resources. New buildings, the latest multimedia⁹ technology, larger campuses and well-paid teaching staff all contribute to a better teaching and studying environment. In addition, for students who fail to be enrolled¹⁰ in any public school or university, private schools are seen to be an alternative solution which enables students to pursue their study. This results in increased places for students and also more jobs a ailable for teachers. Another factor is smaller class sizes and more individual contact with teachers.

In the final analysis,on balance I hold the stance that the introduction of private schools is advantageous¹¹ both to students and to the development of education as a whole. (235 words)
