complaints are on the rise too. Numerous internal and external
factors could be contributors to this state at the school. As such

ascertain the precise reasons for the school’s declining
performance. As a start you are required to prepare a proposal for
the applied study. Outline the following and MAKE ASSUMPTIONS where

a) Statement of problem
There can be various reasons for the decline in the enrollment of students in the school. These reasons can be:-
1) Introduction of new courses:-
The school, in order to attract the students and also to stand out the competition, they should undertake some steps to achieve the target. The new courses can help a student build his character and help them shape their future.
Location of the School: The school authorities should ensure that the school's location is easily accessible. Location plays a significant role in the admission to a school. The school can improve this problem by opening its branches in those place s which have a good network of public transport facilities.
Faculty of the School:- In order to become the world's number 1 school, the school should focus on the faculty of teachers teaching in schools. To improve that, the school should take an interview with the teacher and providing them with real-life situations before offering them a job. The faculty should know their subjects very well and should also able to impart to others for what they know.
Security of the students:- The school should ensure the safety of the students. For that, the school should appoint a guard that will guard the school every time, and specific other measures also need to be taken like CCTV cameras should be installed in every corner of the school.
