Private schools are educational institutions run by social organizations or individuals, which are oriented to the society according to law and do not rely on state financial allocations. Compared with public universities, they have fundamental differences in the nature of running schools.

Differences in sources of funds

Private schools need self-financing and often rely on the support of enterprises and social organizations, while public schools mainly come from government finance.

Scale and teachers

Public schools are large in scale, complete in facilities and relatively low in cost. Teachers in private schools are more mobile, but some non-enterprise private colleges may have different teachers.

Comparison of hardware facilities

Public colleges are usually superior to private schools in hardware facilities, especially in providing practical equipment. But private colleges may surpass them in some aspects.

Source of students

Students from public schools mainly come from nearby areas, while students from private schools come from all directions and have different backgrounds. Private schools usually implement "closed management".

Rich in educational resources

As an important part of the national education system, private schools provide rich educational resources for students with their unique school-running methods and flexible management system. They not only strive to compete with public schools in teaching quality, but also innovate in education mode and curriculum to meet the diverse needs of society.
