Government Schools getting an edge over Private Schools

There was a time when only private schools used to be on top of the line but that pattern has started to change lately as government schools and colleges have also started to shift to the digital school management system.

The main reason for that is the cost-effectiveness and ease of using the software solution. Instead of wasting money and resources on manual labor, schools can now spend that on various other departments and in-school amenities. This has increased competition for many private schools across Pakistan.

In order to survive, many such schools have to waste their money and resources on expensive advertisement campaigns, extra-curricular activities, school’s infrastructure and so on. When expenses are higher and the turnover becomes slow, the overall profitability ratio is drastically affected and that is one of the reasons why private schools have to face problems regarding profits.

At first, privatization used to be a luxury but today, heavy income taxes and other administrative expenses have made that an austerity for most of the stake holders. Private schools have created an image of providing students with exceptional schooling environment and so on. and to keep up with that, private school owners have to make sure everything is up to the mark.

Most of the teachers working in a private institute expect for a substantial salary package but not every school has the resources to fulfill that demand due to which some private schools have started to hire less-experienced and under-qualified teachers. This is affecting the overall student productivity therefore resulting in students transferring to other schools.
