Discrimination among private and public education provisioning


By Rabi Kiran Adhikari
The inequality is shown in private and public and the educational system that has not been changed significantly for 200 years now, this is the right time to end the inequality as well as bringing a paradigm shift in the educational process. As the disaster is directly related to human feeling and sentiments. This is strongly harmful in context to children’s need. The education need is attached to the life course so the disaster and emergency preparedness efforts should focus predominantly from the perspective of human behaviour. Considering the experience of children, their parents, academics and institutions are instrumental in dealing with the sentiment of people and working on the behaviour model to examine and address the individual and group need.
On a very must, education must follow larger shifts in society rather than implement isolated ideas. As we see that many expensive private schools are offering different choices and alternatives but the public school (I do not say government school in Nepal) are reluctant to offer assistance in this circumstance. This is where we see a bigger gap in responsive school sector management modality. As we realize that society is made of people however in setting to Nepal, the greater part of the general public are partitioned. One group speak against private schools and others remain silent if they represent the public school or vice versa. While we can likewise have many sub-divisions into these. The private school have more active, powerful and wealthy parents whereas public school has lower power society. Yet, there are monstrous holes, in a private setting, even the wealthy guardians don’t talk a lot, with the proactiveness of school, a few activities are being attempted where the job of “Vocal Society” isn’t vital. The silent itself speaks much and school takes to move in the interest of them. Indeed, even in detached dots, there is a solid message and promotion, that impacts numerous things. Be that as it may, in the opposite, in the public school setting, even you talk stronger, the society is not functional, or the voice is made quiet. Things being what they are, the role of society in present days seems not relevant. The question is “ Who takes initiation for these public school functioning even it is called public, there is no public who can offer support and the teachers are comparatively less proactive in that settings to start the alternatives? As most of the public school in Nepal are initiated by society, not by government and these societies who are well off are now sending their kids to private school, so it is still relevant the term public school in Nepal. If yes, how to make it public?
This is generally the impacts of the industrialist and capitalistic framework: The private ownership and freedom of enterprise. Philosopher and writer, John Dewey has written in his book that capitalism creates ethical or moral problems in that it affects the welfare of people and it brings a new division of society between the working class and white-collar. He further said capitalism creates the concentration of wealth in a small segment of the white-collar class whereas it causes the marginalization and pauperization of the working class and capitalism not merely produce and accelerates the class partition based on the discrepancy of material conditions between the two classes, but also creates and aggravates the conflict of interests between them. And thus, it ruptures the community life of society.
In this way, it is a concern that this fragmented societal structure and capitalist mentality have a tremendous effect on the children equal right to education. The benefit thought process character of private proprietor and flippancy of government structure has led an illusion in the educational sector now. The imbalance introduced now has an educational issue as well as has a socio-political effect, which will be risen as an issue in future, like vengeance. As we are in a democratic principle with bunches of changes in the middle of, the differences in quality and access of educational opportunities made presently, will have an issue from an equity point of view and considered as undemocratic. This is why a political will and proactiveness is required to settle these serious concerns. The school therefore should be a place to sustain the democratization principle engaging an important role in society.
