SHADOW EDUCATION

Changing circumstances and developing technology bring competition to every field of our lives and also to education. Apart from public schools, there is a new phenomenon: shadow education establishments. Thanks to their increasing success rate, they have a growing customer base. Many believe that shadow education establishments contribute to both the economy and pupils. However, others believe that shadow education establishments should be banned.

Supporters of the idea that the shadow education system should not be banned maintain that pupils need shadow education by virtue of the poor quality of public education. Public school teachers lack the creativity and commitment to help students achieve success. However, these problems may be resolved at shadow education establishments. Not every private institution can provide good and quality education. New graduates  or inexperienced teachers can be employed in these places. As a result of this, students do not get an adequate education.

According to most advocates, more money means more quality education. Therefore, affluent people want their children to go to  the most expensive institutions because they believe that their children deserve much more personal attention which increases their success rate. However, education should be based on an individual's hard work and not on a family’s bank account. If we look at  countries such as Finland and Norway which have more than 95% of their students in public schools , we see that citizens in these countries are some of the best educated people in the world. It seems that they do not have to go to school twice.

 All in all, shadow education establishments should be banned because they increase inequality between people. Instead of these establishments, public schools must give a high quality education. This is the only thing we need for a bright future.
