It’s the joy of every single parent to see their children go to the best schools and be educated. This said some parents find public schools not suitable for their children, some claiming that the schools are overcrowded, with few textbooks and with under-equipped facilitators.
Even with the rise in the cost of living, children from slightly better-off families are privileged to attend some of those schools where they travel in style in chauffeured vehicles with better-paid teachers, substantive curricula and a wide range of extracurricular activities.
