Since a fierce debate emurged about private vs public schools / education in the thread about education in Afghanistan, it might be of interest to some, to debate about before mentioned issue, in this thread, which will make it more accessible and orderly.
My opinion: government should provide for public schools, while not having a monopoly on education. Private schools should, as such, compete with public schools. In my utopian dreams, public schools would only educate poor children, while private schools would educate the rest.
Debate.
