Public education is, by far, one of the most important concepts in Democracy. Education has always played a crucial role in promoting development in any country and there are undoubtedly some top schools in India.

It is education that promotes awareness, helps the countrymen make better-informed decisions, leads to change for the elimination of fear, the peaceful release of thoughts and ideas, freedom to think and grow without being hindered by restrictions or obstacles.

All in all, it supports protests against discrimination, oppression, and exploitation. Education is an important tool that helps every individual contribute meaningfully towards building a civil society.

Public schools are a broadly defined term and usually refer to state-run schools that are free for anyone who wants to attend.

A public school is a school open to all students regardless of their academic achievement or background, gender, nationality, race, or creed. In different countries, the term ‘public’ may be associated with private schools funded by government money but are not necessarily free. They’re free of charge and fund themselves through tax revenue.

The history of public education in the United States began during the colonial era and was largely influenced by Britain’s efforts to colonize its subjects in America. Current public education systems throughout the world have grown from the two basic models that originated in the United States.

In many countries, public schools serve as primary educational institutions for most young students.

In India public schools, commonly referred to as government schools, have a long history that stretches over 150 years. Public schools were the vanguard of India’s struggle for independence. Many well-known freedom fighters and leaders graduated from the erstwhile “government” or “municipality” schools.

A large part of the country’s youth attends these public schools but in India, public schools are popular for their dire conditions. Apart from a handful of locations, they are often known to be underfunded, overcrowded, and chronically understaffed.

They’re also terribly inefficient. But in a country of 1.2 billion people, many parents still don’t have access to the elite institutions that disburse seats to students based strictly on their scores. In short, public schools are where the majority of India’s future engineers, writers, and thinkers learn — and that’s why they cannot continue to be overlooked in our country’s education-reform discussion.

We should look at countries that are popular for their public school system and learn how not only the government but also the public can contribute to improving our very own system.

There are more public schools in Japan than anywhere else on Earth. This probably helps explain why Japan has the highest reading literacy score of 45 countries surveyed by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement.

Japanese students consistently score high marks on international assessments, and 90 percent of them graduate from high school. Voters appear willing to pay higher taxes so that the provinces can both maintain public schools and address shortages in special education and teacher training.

Public Schools in Hyderabad and Delhi are also highly regarded in India and are considered better than private schools. Different states need to make these schools benchmarks for improving the schools of their states. Education is the foundation of democracy and us being a country that has a major part of the population living under the poverty line, it’s important to make public schools better so that our country can become resourceful in the future.
