Conclusion:
Conclusion:
Private Schools are educational institutions privately funded by organizations or private people. These systems might have more freedom to choose what is taught as there is not a set curriculum for all private school institutions, as all private schools are run differently. Private schools can be available for certain groups of children to ensure their future learning. There are various types of Private Schools that can meet individual students needs. Private school teachers and administrators have a traditional foundation of education and are effective in creating competition (Ragpala, 2022; Jeynes & Beuttler, 2012). Knowing that private people and organizations want to put their own money into the future of education is great and should be a motivator for success.
