Education Quality Analysis, Private Schools Versus Public Schools

Abstract

The existence of public and private schools as educational services by offering various variations of learning and facilities. Providing a positive impact on the world of education, parents of students have more choices to send their children to school, which they trust to educate their children. But on the other hand, it results in competition between public and private schools.
In this presentation we try to provide a comparative picture of the quality of education between public schools and private schools, by using a qualitative approach with a literature review with a comparison model from various articles and books.
From some of the results we obtained, there are differences in terms of quality between public schools and private schools including: 1). when viewed in terms of learning or curriculum, private schools are more flexible to organize learning and curriculum while public schools must comply with the standards set by the government. 2). In terms of facilities, private schools are superior to public schools, this is because public schools only rely on funding from the government. 3). In terms of achievement, private schools are superior to public schools, because extracurricular activities and teachers in private schools are more creative and innovative.
