Question

Could I know the difference between these two schools. I go to a public school so Im not sure what a private school is. All that I do know is that the students learn about religion more.

Also should all the schools be fully funded by the Ministry of Education?

There are some interesting links in those search results. You might scan through several and find out how many different types of schools there are.

Your question includes the word "should" and that means you are being asked for YOUR OPINION.

Answer 2

You basically learn about religion there, and some people choose to go there for their own safety. Private schools allow students to become fully engaged in their academic activities.

I think public and private schools should be funded by Ministry of Education. Many people have to pay taxes, and overtop of that they shouldnt have to "pay" to obtain education. Learning should be free.

Are there any cons to this though?

Answer 3

As a taxpayer, why should I pay for students to learn about a religion that I don't believe? My taxes don't support churches or synagogues or temples or mosques. What's the difference between learning religion at school or in a religious building and ceremony?

Answer 4

Thanks so much.

Answer 5

You don't necessarily learn about religion in a private school.

Read more carefully.

Answer 6

If a private school is funded by the government, then it isn't private. The government controls the institutions for which it provides money.
