Hello ma'am, I have tried to convey my thoughts on your questions;
We should focus on low cost no cost fun filled activities, essential for better learning experience.
Since private schools charge fees and provide good environment. On the other hand, there is no fee in government schools and they have limited facilities. The government is working and in different projects, trying to improve the schools condition.
There are many ways that a teacher can develop low cost material for his class according to his needs. He needs to creative.
Communities play a vital role in public schools. They can help provide basic facilities and provide support in many ways.
A teacher is a role model for his students. Quality Education is a source of motivation to the students. So the teachers despite all odds, should provide quality education.

Yes, there are big differences between government and private schools—like better buildings, tools, and tech in private schools. But government schools have hardworking teachers and many bright students.

To improve learning, we can use low-cost ideas like:

Using charts, flashcards, and local materials for teaching

Group activities and peer learning to boost teamwork

Inviting volunteers or retired teachers to help

Creating reading corners with donated books

Using mobiles or projectors (when possible) for videos or stories

Private schools and communities can support by sharing books, old devices, and training sessions. We can motivate students with praise, small rewards, and fun learning activities. Teachers can be encouraged through recognition and support.

Together, even small steps can make a big difference!

Government Schools can shine too if we awareness on Students participation, actual-life examples, and support from the network.while we make getting to know relatable and hands-on, students live engaged—even without excessive-end resources.

@TEHNI58909e91f6 Addressing the financial burden of private education and ensuring that all children, regardless of background, have access to quality education is vital.

Improving learning experiences in government schools with limited resources requires creative and practical solutions. One key difference between government and private schools is access to resources and infrastructure. To bridge this gap, government schools can leverage community support, partnerships with local organizations, and innovative teaching methods. Low-cost ideas include utilizing open-source educational materials, repurposing existing resources, and encouraging student-led projects. Private schools and communities can support public schools through mentorship programs, resource sharing, and volunteer initiatives. Motivating students and teachers can be achieved by recognizing and celebrating small wins, providing opportunities for professional development, and fostering a sense of community. By sharing ideas and experiences, we can build stronger, more equitable schools that provide quality education for all students, regardless of their background or location. Collaborative efforts can help level the playing field and ensure every student receives a great education.
