As the new year approaches, many schools are looking for ways to increase admissions and attract more students. While many factors can influence a family's decision to choose a particular school, a few topics of discussion and essential requirements that affect parents are as follows.
Schools' most talked-about admissions requirements are safety, security, and digital presence. With the ongoing concern over violence among students and other forms of violence, parents are increasingly looking for schools with robust safety protocols, such as Gate passes, security cameras, lockdown drills, and programs promoting mental health and well-being.
Digital presence not only includes having a website for only CBSE/ICSE documents but nurturing to ensure that the parents see the best side of the school. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that your website is well-kept and looks the best; as a managed service, you don't have to worry about hosting, domain renewals, and other facilities. We help you manage it.
Another primary requirement of schools is technology integration. With the rapid advancement of technology, many parents are looking for schools that offer a 21st-century learning environment where students can access the latest tools and resources to enhance their education, which includes interactive whiteboards, RFID Cards, laptops, tablets, and the schools' dedicated application. Schools' application not only adds more value and allows parents to look into the development of their students. Have a look at all the features that eSchoolApp offers here.
STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education is becoming a more critical requirement for many schools. As the economy becomes increasingly technology-driven, parents are looking for schools that offer robust STEM programs to prepare their children for future careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Lesson Plans can help you create an overall curriculum that requires intervention from an SME.
Furthermore, schools that offer a diverse curriculum, including a range of extracurricular activities, arts, sports, and vocational education, are also gaining attention among parents. Parents look for schools catering to their child's interests, talents, and aspirations.Another essential requirement is the school's reputation. Parents are more likely to consider schools with an excellent academic excellence reputation, supportive and caring staff, and a positive school culture. Parents evaluate a school's reputation through word of mouth, online reviews, testimonials, accreditation, and ranking.
Lastly, affordability and convenience also play a significant role in the decision-making process for many parents. They are looking for schools that offer quality education at a reasonable cost and are near their homes and workplaces. Convenience also comes to play when the parent can pay the fee online, and we have expertise in end-to-end implementation of the Payment gateways and simplifying fee collection.
In conclusion, safety and security, technology integration, STEM education, diverse curriculum, reputation, affordability, and convenience are some of the most talked-about requirements of schools among educators and parents. By addressing these requirements and highlighting them in their marketing and communication strategies, schools can attract more admissions and build a more substantial reputation in the community.
