Over the years, the number of parents and guardians taking their children to private schools has increased drastically. Even though such a system is costly, it has proven to be more effective and efficient in its education delivery. 

Most private institutions have a common feature; they are less populated, unlike public ones. This means that a child gets more attention from educators in a more conducive environment for their studies.
