25 percent seats in private schools for poor children

After enlightenment followed by American Independence war and French Revolution for establishing the idea of liberty, justice in society developed notion in intelligentsia about education being a public good. Later socialist idea made state responsible for ensuring free and compulsory education for all and legitimated constitutionally right to education. In democracy ensuring people to be educated is compulsion for making it successful as government is decided by universal franchise. 

Today Government is incapable of giving quality education to all. Riches of this country ensure education to their children by paying hefty fees to private institutions. Because of this private institutions government officials pay little attention to improve the dismal condition of government schools and hence these institutions are now not meant for students, but for teachers and upper officials for getting salaries making them incapable of sending their children to government schools.

Because of this aloofness poor students can't dream of getting better education. A country with socialist outlook can't ignore this fact and it has right to interfere in institution for pursuing the idea of equality. So now 25 percent seat in each class in each school including private ones except the minority schools are reserved for poor children. 

Besides many critics by capital class, one basic idea was discussed that poor children would become victim of inferiority complex while sitting with rich children. I believe many problems would come, but while staying together, studying together they would overcome all these feelings and with time they would start developing sympathy for each other. Today in cities because of lack of poor people or middle class personnel, children of rich class would not like to go mediocre malls as they thinking mediocre people are coming. This sense of divide, alienation from ground reality must be eliminated, then only we would be able to develop responsible future leaders. 

Chance of getting students poor as well as rich children together, would address this problem well.
