What you "know" doesn't seem to be engouh, doctor T. Both private centers and public schools are privileged to serve their public. Which one has more "rights" and which one "should", "should not survive" is quite objective and not up to you to decide. If you think public schools aren't in for profit, you're so wrong. Many public schools have their principals, courses directors etc, quite rich and that for some really good reasons. I know a few who own houses in Canada, the US and have their kids enrolled in western higher education too. One fella in Chongqing (uni) bought a band new honda and complained to me he could not buy a Mercedes 'cause his employer warned him not to. You see there is plenty more cash around public schools than around private centers for some obvious reasons. They have more students and easier ways to cheat. They have more connections as they, just like you've said, believe they have "rights" to educate, not privileges.
