education problems in public schools

         public schools are different from private schools in terms of their funding and admissions,public schools receive most of their funds from the state or federal government;where as private schools rely on private source,such as donation and organizations for their funding,though most public schools are administered by local,state and federal government .private schools are under the control of private body or a chairable trust;

 
    in the united states,public schools education is more common than private education,and about 90 percent of children attend public schools,basically,there are three stages in a public school,namely,primary or elementary school(kindergarten to 5th grade),middle school or junior high school(6th to 8th)and high school or secondary school(9th to 12th),the policies for each stage are set by the board members,elected under local jurisdiction.

     EDUCATION PROBLEMS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
     The first and foremost educational problem of public schools is the larger school size and student population, on the average,most public schools are twice the size of private schools .according to a study ,public schools have an average of 16 student per a teacher,where as private schools have an average of 13 student per teacher.this may be due to free education offered in public schools,weather may be the reason,students of public schools receive less individual attention. as compared to private school students.

    
    since public school education is free .the academic curricula and programs may not be as refined as those of private schools.uaually they offer the same programs and standard  tests for all the students,in short,what the students learn in public schools is decided by the state,on the other hand,private schools offer alteranative curricula and have their own assessment system.

  
     in public schools,all the students get admissions ,irrespective of the student's talent.they cannot deny any student who has applied for admissions,sometimes,this may result in a slow learning pace for the talented students.on the other hand,private schools have full authority to reject a student who is not up to the mark,hence, many a times,private schools perform better in standardized achievement tests
