Explanation
. PRIVATE SECONDARY SCHOOLS ARE BETTER THAN PUBLIC ONES.
Good morning, chairman, panel of Judges, accurate time keeper, co-debaters, ladies and gentlemen. I am here to oppose the motion which states that "public secondary schools are better than the private ones" Public secondary schools are run and managed by state or federal government while private schools are established and managed by private individuals. Private schools are individual investment where students pay heavily for their education. In public secondary schools, students pay only a token amount of money as educational and development levies. Private secondary schools are better than public ones.
Private schools have necessary facilities and infrastructure. Private schools can afford to provide all these facilities for students because they realise a lot of money from school fees and other levies. Unlike public schools where there is paucity of these necessary facilities, private schools have good laboratories, libraries and good classrooms which always make the school environment conducive for learning.
Furthermore, private secondary schools have more qualified teachers to teach different subjects so that they could be patronized. Among these private secondary schools. there is intense competition which makes it expedient for each of them to recruit the best teachers around. Apart from this. some subjects have two teachers thereby giving room for efficiency and specialisation. This is not the case with public secondary schools where government just recruits teachers who are less qualified so that it could pay less.
Teachers in private secondary schools are hardworking. In fact, there is no room for laziness. Teachers work very hard since they are highly paid. Besides, they are given incentives which motivate them to work hard Cases of absenteeism, lateness to work and lateness or refusal to attend classes which are very rampant among teachers in public schools cannot be found among private secondary school teachers.
There is no doubt that private secondary schools always struggle to justify the amount of money they collect as school fees. They parade the best students in the country. The best condition and atmosphere for learning are provided for students in private secondary schools. Therefore. ladies and gentlemen. I am of the candid view that they are far better than public secondary schools.
