Factors preventing the privatization of school sports programs include concerns about equity and access to resources for all students. Publicly funded programs typically ensure participation regardless of socioeconomic status, whereas privatization may lead to exclusion of less privileged students from sports opportunities. Additionally, parents and communities often advocate for maintaining a focus on education rather than commercialization, emphasizing the importance of development over profit. Policymakers must consider these factors to ensure that school sports remain accessible and equitable for all students.
