Introduction
Are private school students better than those in public schools? What are some of the factors that separate the quality of education received by the two groups of students?

This therefore begs the question. How can the research be carried out in such a way that it highlights major issues in the educational sector that need to be addressed? The research is also supposed to bring to light an empirical way through which the quality of public school students can be
