Do private schools promote class inequality?

From my perspective, the debate around whether private schools promote class inequality is complex. It's undeniable that these institutions often provide superior resources and opportunities, however, these benefits are typically accessible only to those who can afford the hefty tuition fees. Therefore, it can be argued that private schools do perpetuate a form of class inequality, as they might indirectly gatekeep quality education and opportunities. Yet, it's also important to note that many private schools offer scholarships to less privileged students, in an attempt to level the playing field. Still, the question remains; are these efforts enough to offset the inherent class disparity?
