The countries in Asia that operates public schools are also supporting the private school education so that more and more students are enrolled every year. Though in some cases the private and public school competition is also visible in many countries but many only regard this as friendly competition so that young people are always reminded that education is the best weapon to equip themselves. The governments do not see this competition as a threat to public schools because children of professionals working in the government also enroll their children in private schools.

Many parents regard public schools in Asia as lacking of school facilities and cannot really give the quality of education they expect from the state-run institutions.
