Parents want the best secondary schools for their children, whether it’s public, private, or one with an international educational model. An inquiry into what most parents look out for before enrolling their child, we came up with unravels the following:

Academic prowess. Parents consider the academic prowess of the school, this is measured by their strength in external exams, competitions, and quality of teachers. They also check the specialization of the school. Some schools are only science inclined making it a good place to send a child who is interested in the sciences.

The cost of a school also determines if a parent will enroll their child in that school.

Gender. Some parents favor mixed school over single-sex schools

Population of the school. Parents take note of whether a school is too crowded or not. A crowded school means a child may not be attended to personally and will be lost in the crowd; most parents won’t buy this.

The technology and resources available in a school also influence a parent’s choice.
