Private schools have a number of advantages. One is that they have balance programs, small classes and better resources are made available. On the other hand, there are various demerits associated with private schools. Here is a discussion of such disadvantages that many people encounter.

Cost:
Private schools such as Indoslang in SG have a high fee rate than the public schools. Many people believe that they are not funded by the government since it is individually based. All the expenses for paying teachers and buying books is the cost of the founder. This makes them have a high set fee so as to meet the basic of all the teaching and non-teaching staff. Also, the fees charged helps in buying of the buses, building of the library and other resourceful centers. However, having services for picking and dropping off the children at own premises adds to high cost for these learning institutions.

Most private schools are religious-based:
Many founders of private school base them on the particular denomination that one attends. Some of these schools may, therefore, discourage the participating of other people who are not of the same religion. This denies some people the opportunity to be such learning centers. Also, the requirement of another school to observe certain religious belief which is not the desire of the individual lead to discouragements of people from joining the schools.

Entrance exam should be passed for one to qualify to be in the school:
Unlike in public schools, the private school have an entrance test that all learner school carry before an admission. This may demand extra charges that one had not planned. It also discourages students seeking transfer since they can demand the repeat of the student. Such instance may bring an extra budget that was not calculated before by the family. However, some private schools do not have the privilege of children with disabilities. They aim at enrolling student who are physically fit to carry out the learning process. This is to minimize the quantity of work to be executed.

The teacher is not required to have training but general knowledge in given subjects:
Many private schools chose to have a teacher who is not fully trained. They at time accept several teachers just because they are capable of delivering the required knowledge of books. Hence, they deny student other extra curriculum activities required to build their skills. Having limited to specific subjects cannot give access for other assistance in another subject when the teacher concerned is not present. Also, having untrained teacher will encourage the teaching of the basic content without tackling of other outside issues that may have a better meaning for the learners to understand. This makes student waste their day while having achieved nothing in such sections. It is thus important to have qualified workers who can ensure learners are busy throughout the day.
