Until the turn of new millennium, the responsibility of educating the next generation of America remained mostly with the public sector. Then, private schools started to establish their prominence. Today, we stand at a juncture where 98,158 public schools as opposed to 34,576 private schools (in the U.S. as of 2019[1]) are failing to gain parents’ confidence in the effectiveness and efficiency of public education. This is because:

1. Limited operating budget and bureaucracy hurdles to lure best human resources and EdTech tools,
2. Lack of equity and accountability of the existing workforce, and
3. Increasing number of irresistible and innovative initiatives by educational entrepreneurs that outshine legacy systems of public sector education departments.

That being said, there are two primary factors that restrain private schools from outrightly overtaking the number of public schools:

1. The notion that education is for public good and hence requires direct government control and
2. Substantially costlier fee structure of private schools that most middle-class families cannot afford.
