THIS is apropos of the letter on private schools (Oct 12). There are approximately 15 private schools in Turbat and they are extremely crowded. Teachers of these private schools are playing a big role in providing quality education. There is no denying the fact that these teachers are experienced and capable of providing excellent education.

If we compare government schools with private schools, then there is a huge difference between the two. Students of private schools know more than the teachers of government schools. The latter get a lot of salary while teachers of private schools earn Rs5,000 a month.

Students of private schools are cooperative and disciplined. I disagree with the writer that teachers are being affronted by students. I request the writer to appreciate the teachers of private schools who are teaching with enthusiasm.
