Teacher’s effect in Private and Government sector

In most cases, private schools have an educational advantage over public schools. They employ
an independent learning system from that of public schools. Consequentially, the private school’s
education is highly valued, and most parents are willing to pay more for the private school’s
educational advantages. One of the reasons behind this is the comparative effect and
performance of teachers in Private and government sector. They vary in a number of factors.
Some of them are discussed here;

 Private schools have more teaching staff than Government schools

Private schools employ a larger share of teachers despite the small number of pupils relative to
public schools. The demand for private education has been rising. It is in this context that the
demand for teachers by private schools has also been increasing. As expected, private schools
have more teaching staff per student than in public schools. As a result, the teachers in the
private sector are able to teach a relative smaller class of students and deliver a broad range of
learning activities than teachers in the public sector.

 Better teaching environment

Teaching methods is largely responsible for the disparities between the two sectors. Evidently,
teachers in the private education sector enjoy better work conditions including working with
fewer pupils, longer holidays and better pay than their public sector counterparts do. This
eventually enhances their performance.

 Rigorous evaluation and recruitment

Teaching in private schools differs markedly from teaching in public schools in many ways. The
differences range from educational standards, resources and the level of teachers’ training, which
results to the educational disparity between the two sectors. Rigorous evaluation and recruitment
of highly qualified staff ensures quality-teaching methods in private schools compared to public
schools. Teaching activities and attendance in private sector is high as Private teachers have to
answer higher officials. No such things happen in government sector. This can be a source of the
competitive advantage of private schools over public schools that can cause the disparities in
performance.

 Specified skills and competencies

The private teachers tend to possess specified skills and competencies that differentiate them
from the public sector teaching staff. Private schools are not bound to follow a rigid national
curriculum, which public schools have to keep. Usually, private schools design their curricula
and select their teachers independently. On the other hand, public schools have to adhere to
federal, state and local educational standards.
 Teachers qualification:

With regard to teacher qualifications, public schools have teacher accreditation programs such as
the state credentialing program that all public school teachers have to undertake. On the other
hand, since the private schools set their own standards, the accordingly set their own teacher
credentialing requirements. The better the school is the better qualification they require.

 Parents role in private and government sector

Most of the private schools work on three ways partnership model which is involving parents,
teachers and children to give the children a comfortable environment to learn better. Students in
private schools have parents who report being more involved in school-based activities and more
satisfied with teachers, school climate, and academic standards than public school students’
parents is. Moreover, some private schools require both student and parent to undergo a battery
of interviews and tests. These schools embrace the idea that education is a partnership consisting
of the parent, child and school. Public schools often lack such involvement.
