A private school is a school that is established, conducted, and primarily supported by a nongovernmental agency.[1]

Private schools for the poor

According to the research of Pauline Dixon conducted in select slum areas in Asia and Africa, private schools are more numerous than government schools and offer a higher quality of education to the children, while still being affordable for poor parents. [2]
