How are private schools different from government schools?

Private schools (independent schools) are funded through tuition fees, donations, and endowments, operating independently with their own curricula and admission standards. Government schools (state schools) are publicly funded through taxation, free to attend, and follow national curricula and regulations. Private schools often have smaller class sizes, more resources, selective admissions, and specialized programs. Government schools serve broader communities with diverse student populations and must meet statutory requirements.
