Most societies around the world decline to make boarding schools the preferred option for the upbringing of their children. However, boarding schools are one of the aspirational modes of education in some former British colonies or [[Commonwealth countries]] like India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and other former [[Africa]]n [[colony|colonies]] of Great Britain. For instance, in [[Ghana]] the majority of the secondary schools are boarding. In some countries, such as New Zealand and [[Sri Lanka]], a number of [[state school]]s have boarding facilities. These state boarding schools are frequently traditional single-sex state schools, whose ethos is much like that of their independent counterparts. Furthermore, the proportion of boarders at these schools is often much lower than at independent boarding schools, typically around 10%.
