Another academic year is at the comer, some parents are busy shopping for stationeries, school aids and making school fees payment plan; others are shopping for new school for their wards.
This is that season where most parents and guardians make that big decision- to change school for their children/wards or remain in their known school. Before you make that life changing decision, you have to ask yourself why.
There are negative effects of changing a child’s school, as much as there are positive effects
Likely reasons why parents change school for their wards

The school environment (dirty surroundings and lack of security)

Financial constraints

New financial level

Poor customer relationship

Incompetent teachers

Love for another school

Social issues

Selfish reasons and many more

Changing school might seem the easiest for you, but is it for your child? It might mark the beginning of a new academic height for your child, or the start of a doom.

A school is a home away from home, as parents, we should be sensitive about where our ward went to school. Schooling is beyond learning ABC. It is an institution which grooms a child’s perspective and prepares her for adult life. Look above face value it is all about the child.
