Low fee private schools are able to achieve similar, if not better outcomes than government schools at 1/3rd the cost. In their attempt to deliver quality education, they face a number of challenges ranging from erratic fee payment and insufficient resources to teacher attrition and lack of access to quality training. In wake of COVID 19, these schools are hit with a new wave of challenges- how to survive a financial crisis when parent income is affected, how to teach children in the absence of technology, how to maintain physical distancing norms in small classrooms, how to support community livelihood creation; the list is endless. Principals and School leaders are now required to be social entrepreneurs running the most complex organisations: SCHOOLS!
