HOW GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS CAN INCREASE ITS ENROLLMENT LIKE PRIVATE SCHOOLS | a comparison of govt. n private schools


HOW PRIVATE SCHOOL CAN REDUCE THEIR FEES
GOVT. SCHOOL VS PRIVATE SCHOOL FEES & STANDARD

               Private schools charge such towering fees even then look at day by day rising number of students in their new campuses. Why private schools need to lessen or reduce their fees or get blackmailed by government with mounting number of students even after manipulating the parents. instead of suppressing the private school authorities government should raise their approach, method and quality to compete private schools and to meet high number of enrollments. 

GOVT. SHOULD PROVIDE QUALITY EDUCATION AT ITS SCHOOLS

                People are forced to pay for the quality education in Pakistan. what quality education actually is? An education which turn the learner into capable, productive and peaceful individual of any society. Are govt. schools meeting these standards? No, when world has globalised and almost every kid has access to social media then it was outdated teaching style, syllabus and exam system  that made parents and students fred of govt schools.  Private school owners smelt this frustration and found space to grow. Aside they kept on improving their standards day by day according to modern needs. so we are observing the great gap in enrollment of both schools.




OBJECTIVE TYPE SYLLABUS CAN HELP INCREASE ENROLLMENT AT GOVT SCHOOLS


A government school fellow, observed unable to write few lines independently even on easy topics. People are afraid of rata based studies in government schools.   
       
        At most private schools basic syllabus is more objective than to be subjective. Handy workbooks and worksheets are partner of textbooks. There is focus on independent and creative studies. A student from private school can speak and write on various topics fluently. 
              

CONCEPT BASED EXAMINATION SYSTEM SHOULD BE PART OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOL FOR NEW ENROLLMENTS




Ayesha was student from govt. school and was revising her essay ‘my pet’ for school test. I just changed the pet "from dog to hen" and ask her to revise. 
She started to revise without letting her disturbed with any second thought; my hen has four legs, one tail and jagged nose…..’ 
This example is not to make fun but to sympathy the students at govt. schools where the exam system is thoroughly rata based and just test of memory power. 
 Papers are thoroughly conceptual at private schools. Questions from books have somewhere a little twist to check the student's concepts . One concept is covered through different type of MCQs. Schools access performance on monthly basis now instead of long term papers.




 OFFER BOTH EXAMINATION SYSTEMS O LEVELS AND METRIC AT GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS

whatever we criticise on cambridge system of education but it is fact that families belong to higher class cut their budget from house rents, bills, groceries to get their kids admitted in cambridge based schools and pay paramounted fees happily to establish their kids as O level graduate.

 Then why not government thinks of offering both systems in some of its campuses, in posh areas at least? Many private schools are already  practising it by offering both exam and education system i.e. "metric or O level"  and making immense money with both hands. In this way a wave of students from higher class can shift their schools. 




In developed countries public school provide up to mark education that private schools can’t compete, so people don't think to walk towards private schools.
HOW PRIVATE SCHOOLS CAN REDUCE FEES
GOVERNMENT CAN'T CONTROL PRIVATE SCHOOLS FEES BECAUSE..

CHARGE NOMINAL FEES AT FEW CAMPUS OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS TO INCREASE ENROLLEMENT



Parents just wish that government charge nominal fees from us but provide up to mark education at govt. schools. Full or half fee concession, scholarships to poor students will not affect govt. school status at all.
Secondly its human nature that "expensive seems better" or "free is for granted" so people feel satisfied when they pay for something. Many street schools which are not even providing quality education but are working on this formula. 
                               Government should not manipulate the parents at the name of free education to get foreign funds. No matter poor or rich, everyone wants to see its children at distinct and valuable position in society and he’s always ready to sacrifice for it. Its fact the time of planting high grade fellows in government schools has gone with wind. Now they’re just producing B grade citizens.
HOW PRIVATE SCHOOLS CAN DECREASE THEIR FEES
If private sector can work hard to drag students from all classes of society by inaugurating new projects then why not government think like this. By just taking few steps government can drain many private school fellows towards it. Instead of suppressing private schools, government should upgrade its standards then automatically parents will magnetize towards it and private schools would no longer be fussy to decline their fees.
