The main difference between government schools and private schools stems from their funding and administration. As the names imply. government schools are administered and funded by the local, state, or national government whereas private schools are funded wholly or partly by student tuition and administered by the private body. Private school are independent to a large extent from the interference of the government. Based on these two major differences, other scientific differences can be noticed between government schools and private schools.

Government schools are primary or secondary schools mandated for or offered to all children without charge, funded, and controlled by the local, state, or national government. Since they are supported by the government they are wholly or partly funded by taxation. Since the government school is controlled by the government, the curriculum decided at a state or national level, and government Schools follow the same curriculum.

Admissions and testing are also managed by the government. Admission to a government school are determined the address of the student. The students are obliged to take the student who belongs to their respective geographical zone.

A private school is not funded administered by the government. They are controlled by a  private body and funded partially or wholly by student tuition. The fees are usually higher in private schools. At the same time, private schools usually have better infrastructure facilities and up-to-date technology compared with government schools.   
                                            
The private school follows the same rules as decided by the government where a toad of delivery is decided by School board those School administrator and so decided the fees and admission.
