Comparison Between Government and Private Schools

Government schools are schools that are almost offered everything needed in school necessities for example books, desks, graduate teachers just to mention but a few. We understand also that it is the most overpopulated with students to such an extend that one class can have about 60 students.

When it comes to teaching we see that teachers get a rough time to communicate with the students because he/she cannot understand each and every student’s weakness. The overpopulation of students brings about low performance of exams and we see that most of government schools perform poorly compared to private schools.

There are hidden fees even though government schools are supposed to be free and these hidden fees, for tuition and so on, are often at the same rate as private schools.

When it comes to food we see that nowadays there are cooks within all schools but government schools only cook one type of meal for the whole week. What am asking is that why don’t they play there roll? For I think they are supposed to be a good example to other schools.

Private schools are the most wanted schools in Kenya because of high quality education, proper activities and good teachers. Firstly, it is not over populated as they take a maximum of 30 students per class whom they are capable of handling also by being able to understand each and everyone’s weakness. This brings about good performance within the school because they solve immediately once they are discovered. Meals that are being taken in private schools are well cooked also they change meals day after day not one specific meal for the whole week. We see that students are so healthy and refreshed minds. A good example of a high quality private school that is accessible to poor families is Maji Mazuri Primary School in Mathare. It is actually it one of the best schools I have ever seen in a slum area whereby it affords to cater every need of a student and asks very low fees.

Maji Mazuri Primary School in Mathare offers good quality education to the children most in need, the children from the slum Mathare Valley. Thank you Maji Mazuri for doing a wonderful job in teaching our children.
