are students from poor background discriminated against in pvt schools ?

Answer 1

no the students from poor background are not discriminated.

Answer 2

In many cases it may be easier for students from poor backgrounds to get in to private schools, because many private schools--especially the selective ones--are trying to make their student bodies more diverse.

However, most schools--public or private--have some students who discriminate against others. It's hard to escape discrimination no matter where you go to school. So it might be that if a student from a poor background started attending a private school, he or she would discover some prejudice. But, in my experience, many or even most private school students are reasonable and open-minded.

If I had a friend from a poor background who was considering a private school and was concerned about prejudice, I would definitely recommend that my friend visit the school, preferably while the students are present. Most private schools will allow visitors. I would also try to talk to the teachers and students and see what their experiences have been. Lastly, I would say that a school's financial aid policy is a good indication of how it feels about students from poor backgrounds. Many expensive private schools give excellent grants and scholarships to low-income students. These schools tend to be very accepting and welcoming of students from all economic backgrounds. A very expensive school that offered no financial aid would probably be a more discriminatory place.

Answer 3

NO! However, MOST of the poor in our society STILL DO NOT have the opportunity to attend a private school. The ones that do are generally treated in a non-discriminatory manner by the school administration and the teaching staff. Generally the private schools also have a policy of everyone wearing uniforms or dressing alike so that they are not as noticable. The other thing is that many of these students do not know one another and are not discriminated against by their peers either. There are a lot of test scores that show these "Private Schools" are not producing any diffrent results than our public schools. However, they are depleting the funds that our public schools once had. I hope that this answered your question. Have a great holiday season!

Answer 4

I went to private school for twelve years and never witnessed discrimination against any of the students from poor families. In fact the opposite was true. The school was very good about being discrete when it came to financial assistance and who was receiving it. I never knew some of my classmates were technically "poor" until years after graduation.

I would suggest you consider that maybe what your asking about is not discrimination but bigotry. The two are very different. Discrimination is when a person or organization excludes an individual or group based on some criteria. Bigotry is a feeling of hate, mistrust or anger against someone or a group of people based upon some criteria, usually accompanied by hateful remarks, efforts to humiliate, etc. I did witness bigotry as there were a few Hispanic, Asian and (one) African-American in a school of mostly people of European descent.

Answer 5

yes. students are discriminated basing on their back ground. most of the schools and colleges are collecting high fees and again imposing certain programmes that requires money. poor parents who are unable to pay are being discriminated. once a carpenter send his son to the college for mca. the convention is that all the students in the class are to celebrate the birthday parties. the carpenter is unable to pay money every moth. his condition is with great difficulty he is educating his children. if every day parties are celebrated he cant pay the amount asked by the son. other wise the son will be disappointed among his friends. if such being the case what is the fate of other children in the family. that is his problem.apart from the the managements are collecting amounts under different names. education has become another commodity for purchasable. those who can afford are purchasing others are deprived. this situation should go both in schools and colleges.
