Description

All countries have public schools, this are schools where every child can get access too. These schools are funded by the government. Besides that, a lot of countries also have private schools. These are schools run by private people or organizations. They normally only let children of rich people enter their school or only international children. Usually the education at these schools is harder, but the children from these schools have bigger chances to get somewhere.

Enablers

  • Employers: Sponsoring private schools so that the children of their employees can go there.
  • Government: They can improve the level of knowledge on public schools so that the difference between public and private school becomes smaller. This makes that in the end every child has almost the same amount of knowledge

Inhibitors

Rich families: They send their children to private schools since they have the money. This will make sure that this difference will exist in the future.

Paradigms
