How Many Government and Private Schools in India 2025? Latest Report!

How Many Government and Private Schools in India 2025? Latest Report: We all know that government schools are those which are entirely owned and supervised by the government. In these schools, the government is in charge of the curriculum, study materials, fee structure, syllabus, examinations, etc.

Further, as the name suggests, government schools are run by the government and are fully or partially funded by the government, and job appointments are also under government control. Besides, almost all government schools marked the state language as the medium of teaching in the school, which is in contrast to the private schools that have English as the medium of teaching. A large number of people prefer government schools for many reasons.

The first and foremost cause is that education is free for the age group of 6 to the age group of 14. This is instructed by the National scheme to offer free and compulsory education to all. The medium of teaching is in the state’s native tongue in the first 5 years, after which it is changed to English. The main reason for this is to promote the native language of a certain state and permit students to be aware of the significance of regional languages in education.

Besides, highly qualified teachers teach students in government schools. On the other hand, a government-aided school is owned by private management but is financed by the government. In these schools, although the private management supervises the curriculum, study materials, syllabus, examinations, etc., of the school, it obeys the same academic rules and regulations applied by the government as that of a government school.
