Yeah sure, allowing both nationalized and privatized sectors to coexist can lead to positive stuff.
It's a great way for the rich to segregate themselves from the poor
Wait what is that sarcastic? I don't get it. For us there is co existance of govt. and private schools, and both are being used by the public
Any time this happens it leads to greater social stratification.
Uh why?
Because one school will be better than the other. Most likely the private school, because they charge money for parents to send their kids there in addition to the money they (unfairly) get from the government. So families with more money are more likely to send a kid to private school, which immediately creates social stratification between the private school kids and the public school kids.
The private school kids will perceive this inequity, even subconsciously, and internalize that they are better than the public school kids on some level. Often the private schools are religious too which is another can of worms.
I could keep going but I think that's enough to get the point. Private schools shouldn't exist. All the money given to them should be given to public schools so they are better for every kid no matter how much money their parents make.
I'm mostly talking in the general sense.
In my country there are a few private schools but employers don't care for them. They need to follow the official curriculum and the students will have to do the same official tests at the end of the year.
