Afghanistan is a country that has been in conflict and war for the past thirty years. One of the direct consequences of the war has been on the education system of the country. During the Taliban regime going to school and getting education was a privilege that only men were given. As a result most of the women did not get any education during the Taliban regime. Since the US invasion in 2001, one of the sectors that have seen tremendous progress is the education system; women are allowed to go to school and universities, reconstruction of schools both in the capital and the provinces, and opening up of many private schools and universities. Opening up of new private schools and universities is a market that is not only new in Afghanistan but also grow is growing really fast. In this essay, I will compare and contrast private and public schools mainly in two aspects. First, why private schools are getting more popularity than public schools, what are the differences between the two in terms of their approach to education, and finally which school system would I prefer for myself. During the Taliban regime women were left behind in their education, and when the schools were reopen for them, the public schools did not only have to accept the current students but also all those students who were left behind. As a result, public schools are overcrowded. Private schools are very less crowded comparing to public school. Overcrowded public schools are not able to provide the
For many years, girls in the Middle East struggle with obtaining an education. In the bibliography “I Am Malala” by Malala Yousafzai, she addresses the salience of girls’ education in the Middle East. Malala explains to the reader the horrors as well as the barriers she faced while trying to justify the importance of girls’ education. She uses influential ethos, a tenacious tone, and vigorous pathos to get the reader to perceive that a girl’s education is just as imperative as a boy’s education. Yousafzai wants the reader to know what it is like being a girl fighting for girl’s education.
In some nations, school students are expected to reach strict government targets and teachers of schools do not possess time to explain some concepts to some children, who are not in a position to understand the concepts when teaching for the first time. Therefore, parents of these children are forced to opt for private tuitions and particularly for subjects like chemistry, physics, mathematics and English many children are looking for some sort of additional coaching and parents are not in a position to offer the right kind of coaching they require and so they are opting for private tuition
In Pakistan, women are prohibited from getting an education. Though Marjane and Malala are from different countries under two different extremes of radical Islamic rulings, their educational beliefs are consistent with one another. Just like Marji, Malala grew up in a progressive family where her father, a teacher and protestor, encouraged her to become an educated woman. Inspired by her father, she promised “I will get my education- if it is at home, in school, or any place. They [The Taliban] cannot stop me" (malala, he named me malala).
problem lies in the fact that most public schools have fixed costs from heating costs to teaching staff that cannot easily be adjusted or downscaled when a few students leave in a given year. The result equates to “squeezed funding at traditional public schools” (Daniel Simmons Ritchie). School choice is not necessary.
If a family is able to afford to do so, they have the option to send their child to a private school to ensure a good education. Also, these parents may choose to send their child to a private school, knowing that there is less diversity of race there. This would keep their children segregated from children of other
The difference between public and private schools is that money is given different and the public schools follow a set curriculum while private schools can do what they want. Private schools get money from grants, donations and fund raisers
Our first reason is Overcrowding in school districts. Some schools have over crowding problems where there is a growing population in their schools but not enough classrooms. This is happening in Johnston Iowa and they chose to expand. They are building a new high school that has an estimated cost of $81 million dollars. Usually this is the solution people think of when there is overcrowding.
Now, the budget just does not exist for every school to receive improvements. Taking care of the schools, and making them a clean place will make them more
There is a lot of benefits from increasing public school funding. Also, there are also negative aspects of this situation. “25% of taxpayers money goes to education” (policy basis , 5) .Taking more of tax payers money
Despite the contrasting environment, private school students are no different than public school students. In an online manifesto, If You Send Your Kid to Private school you are bad, Allison Benedikt, an executive editor states, “But many others go private for religious reasons, or because their kids have behavioral or learning issues, or simply because the public school in their district is not so hot”. This proves that private schools are not filled with angels, but rather kids who have behavioral issues and need that extra help. In senior writer and editor John S Kiernan’s, online article, Private Schools vs. Public Schools - Experts Weigh In, Patrick J. Wolf, Ph.D, proclaims, “Private schools also are becoming more diverse, as their enrollments increasingly include minority and low-income students”. Similar to a public school, private schooling have their low, medium and upper class students.
Not only is there a high cost in money but also a high cost in the mental sacrifice required. If a parent were to homeschool than planning the lessons, field trips, and to organize outdoor activities takes a serious toll on their mental state. This can be manually damaging for the teacher let alone the detrimental effects it would have on the student. One last cost that proves that public school is more beneficial is the physical cost. Without a regular gym class many students would not regularly exercise.
In third world countries, girls are fighting their families, communities, and countries in order to go to school. Governments need to support these young women and fulfill their dreams. Not only will it empower women, but it will positively impact each family, community, and country. Firstly, the only way to decrease the educational gap between males and females is to implement policies that decrease or completely remove school fees for girls and prohibit families from removing their daughters from school before the age of 18. As a result, these nations will achieve gender equality as both females and males will be equally qualified for jobs.
As I have heard from a friend here in America, US public schools are no less than quality but excel in private
Have you ever think about the similarities and differences between Regular Education and Special Education? Regular education is the term often used to describe the educational experience of typically developing children. By the other hand, Special Education programs are designed for those students who are mentally, physically, socially or emotionally delayed, which places them behind their peers. As you can see, these two provide an example of different types of education. We can find differences such as their educators, academic content and methods of teaching, but we can also find similarities in their academic content.
SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN DIFFERENT SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ESSAY EDUCATION AS A SOCIAL INSTITUTION: Social institutions are an important element in the structure of human societies. They provide a structure for behavior in a particular part of social life. Education is one of the major social institutions that exist in the society. It establishes a goal of social equality and a common knowledge base among students.
