Hi,
I am planning on opening a primary school (classes 1-5) for a poverty-stricken community in a developing country. I would appreciate any thoughts or lessons learned on how to start and run such an endeavor. In order to maximize the impact, perhaps it would be better to focus this school on educating girls only (given that co-education is not an option here).
Please feel free to give any feedback in freeform or answers to the following specific questions:
- Should the school be completely free (charity run) or is it better to have the people pay who can and subsidize/support others who can't? Both options seem to have their own merits/demerits.
- The teachers will be mainly local residents (for obvious reasons). Is it worth it to set up an internet-based lecturing room so that volunteers from distant can offer lectures or courses?
- I am thinking of financing it myself for the initial couple of years and am going to put the budget aside for that. As the school might grow, I'd need to create a charitable trust to request other people to come join, contribute and be part of the school board. Does this approach sound reasonable?
- Some folks may not be able to fund their kids' education at all, like not being able to even pay for the school uniform, supplies, etc. Does it make sense to offer full support to such families that includes everything (at the cost of educating more kids who only need tuition fee assistance).
- Is it better to provide quality education to few and let others go without education, or provide education to more but compromise on quality? This one is particularly difficult for me.
Also if there are books or online resources that you can recommend, that'd be wonderful.
Thank you!
