how do i phrase my EPQ title?

I want to make an EPQ analysing the societal impact of private schools , so i would look at racism in private schools , elitism and advantages that private school students get etc
My current title is 'How do private schools impact society in the 21st century?' however i dont know if this too vague or if i needs to be taken in a different direction

Sounds fine to me, as long as it generalises what is meant you can detail further in the hypothesis and introduction.

I think it needs a more forward direction, maybe focus on how it will affect the future?

I'm going to begin my EPQ title with "To what extent" so then I can explore both side of the argument throughout the research. For your topic this argument would allow you to go into further detail on particular topic surrounding private schools eg racism + classism

How do you phrase the title?
In English. 🤣🤣.

Jokes aside, I think phrasing is definitely the hardest part of the process. I would say that before you create a title, write the body of your dissertation first because I think once you have something on paper, you have a greater idea of the direction you've chosen to explore, and then you can change your title accordingly. This is what I did and it really did help me a lot.

You should also add the country in which this pertains to

Its far too vague - and far too wide in scope.
What you are proposing would take you years to research and write up.

Focus on one area, one that there is actually some material on, and one that has a simple question to answer. As an example, there has been plenty of journalism about widening-participation to Oxbridge, and a title like "How has the attitude of Oxford University to state-school applicants changed over the last 10 yeas - and why?" is do-able - a sweep of every social impact of fee paying schools is not.
