@metrofmsa: Is quality education determined by cost, or is it about finding the right fit for your child? 📚🎓 On #METROFMTalk, we unpacked the debate around private and public schooling, exploring whether higher school fees necessarily translate into better outcomes, and what parents should prioritise when making one of the most important decisions for their children’s future. Joining the conversation were Phindile Yende, Jonathan West from Section27, and education specialist Manuka Munyai. Catch the podcast on www.metrofm.co.za
Anything private is because Government failed. Security, healthcare, schooling, medical etc.

Paid over 25k in tax last month. Still pay for private schooling, private healthcare, private security. Just spent 20k on a jojo tank cos we have constant water issues and 75k for a solar system during loadshedding. We’re paying for government failures everywhere.

Private Schooling is great if you want to build connections and network other than that a Good Public School is not that far off from a Private School

One of the biggest concerns is the shift from treating learners as learners to treating them as customers. In a business environment, the customer is always right. However, education requires discipline, accountability, and sometimes difficult decisions that may not always satisfy parents or learners. When schools become overly dependent on fee-paying clients, there is a risk that educational principles may be compromised to protect revenue streams.
