Education in most of the developing world is shocking. Half of children in South Asia and a third of those in Africa who complete four years of schooling cannot read properly. Most governments have promised to provide universal primary education and to promote secondary education. But even when public schools exist, they often fail.
The failure of state education, combined with the shift in emerging economies from farming to jobs that need at least a modicum(少量)of education, has caused a private-school boom. According to the World Bank, across the developing world a fifth of primary-school pupils are enrolled in private schools, twice as many as 20 years ago. So many private schools are unregistered that the real figure is likely to be much higher.
By and large, politicians and educationalists are unenthusiastic. Governments see education as the state’s job. NGOs tend to be ideologically opposed to the private sector. The U. N. special rapporteur(报告人)on education, Kishore Singh, has said that "for-profit education should not be allowed in order to safeguard the noble cause of education".
This attitude harms those whom educationalists claim to serve: children. The boom in private education is excellent news for them and their countries, for three reasons.
First, it is bringing in money—not just from parents, but also from investors, some in search of a profit. Most private schools in the developing world are single operators that charge a few dollars a month, but chains are now emerging.
Second, private schools are often better value for money than state ones. Measuring this is hard, since the children who go to private schools tend to be better off, and therefore likely to perform better. But a rigorous four-year study of 6,000 pupils in Andhra Pradesh, in southern India, suggested that private pupils performed better in English and Hindi than public-school pupils, and the private schools achieved these results at a third of the cost of the public schools.
Lastly, private schools are innovative. Since technology has great(though as yet mostly unrealized)potential in education, this could be important. Bridge gives teachers tablets linked to a central system that provides teaching materials and monitors their work. Such robo-teaching may not be ideal, but it is better than lessons without either materials or monitoring.
The private sector has problems. But the alternative is often a public school that is worse—or no school at all. The growth of private schools is a manifestation of the healthiest of instincts: parents’ desire to do the best for their children. Governments should therefore be asking not how to discourage private education, but how to boost it. Ideally, they would subsidize(以津贴补助)private schools, preferably through a voucher(凭证)which parents could spend at the school of their choice and top up: they would regulate schools to ensure quality: they would run public exams to help parents make informed choices.
Private schools surpass the public ones in that______.
选项
A、they can obtain more money from parents
B、they have achieved better teaching quality
C、they make better use of money and innovate
D、they can use tablets to assist teaching
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。从第五至七段的定位句可知,私立学校优胜于公立学校的原因有以下三个方面:引入资金,更好地利用资金,积极进行创新,这些特点与C)的表述相吻合,故为答案。A)“他们能从家长那里获得更多的钱”,第五段第一句指出,私立学校引进的资金不仅仅来自于家长,且仅此一点不能全面概括私立学校优于公立学校的原因,故可排除;B)“他们的教学质量更好”,作者在第六段提到,在同样投入的情况下,私立学校取得的教学成效优于公立学校,但不能据此判断私立学校整体上教学质量优于公立学校,故可排除;D)“他们可以利用平板电脑辅助教学”,这一点只是作为私立学校更具创新性的一个例证,不具有概括性,故可排除。
