It is nothing to do with the best school canteen, green carpet grass school field, swimming pool or the best equipped science laboratory, but the effort put in for quality teaching.

Many schools market through glossy advertisement and promotional material as well as on multi-media. Some also spend big for a few seconds air time on television.

There are quiet achievers that target at the students’ shortcomings and find ways to improve on the them, rather than on the parents’ hip pockets.

So, when you enrol your child in the forthcoming year, find out more about the history of the school, and compare how much you have subsidise those posh facilities that your child will never use.

Thank you for reading.
