Private school (Sri Lanka)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sri Lankan Private schools provide an alternative education option to families in Sri Lanka who seek a different approach to education than what is offered at the public schools. These schools are typically funded through private means, such as tuition fees, donations, or endowments, and may offer a local or international curriculum. Private schools are often associated with higher academic standards, smaller class sizes, and better resources than government schools. However, they can also come with a higher cost, making them less accessible to families with lower incomes. In Sri Lanka, private schools with British or American influences in their curriculum are particularly popular.

Private schools in Sri Lanka have several formations including private schools with local or international curriculums, semi-government schools, government-aided schools, and government schools with autonomy. Private schools with local curriculum adhere to national education standards while private schools with international curriculum provide globally recognized qualifications. Government-aided schools receive financial assistance from the government, and government schools with autonomy have some degree of independence. Private schools are often associated with higher academic standards and better resources than government schools but may have higher tuition fees. Some private schools in Sri Lanka have a British or American influence in their curriculum. Semi-government schools are also present in Sri Lanka, partially funded by the government and partially by private means.
