PROFILE OF DIRECT COMPETITORS in barmer city

1. Delhi public school, barmer


2. B.K.BIRLA PUBLIC SCHOOL, BARMER
3. St. paul’s senior secondary school, barmer

However, the direct competitors are the private


school They are considered some of the better
quality schools.

16
Most of the private schools hire teachers on a
contract basis. They also underpay their teachers.
For example, according to several reliable sources, a
secondary teacher in barmer city is paid between
(Rs. 7,000) and (Rs. 10,000). A teacher with similar
qualifications is paid over (Rs. 24,000)
by government schools. Private schools can hire
teachers at a lower salary because there are a lot of
unemployed teachers willing work at a lower salary.
The management at most of these schools tends to
be quite unprofessional and pays little interest in the
welfare of students and teachers. This situation
creates two problems low morale among the teachers
and a sub-par education.

Teachers are not properly respected. Low paid


teachers end up doing outside-tutoring in order to
supplement their salary and show only luke-warm
interest in the schools at which they are teaching.

crore 280,00000 in funding to finance the successful
implementation of the school’s
educational venture.

The fund will be used as follows:

1. 50,000 will be used for marketing.

construction cost of the school and the
residential buildings.

its marketing and operation smoothly. It is projected
that the seed fund will enable the school to launch

30
its educational operations and successfully

Risk analysis

The risk associated with this venture is very


negligible. The primary source of risk is related to
the future uncertainties about the need for quality
education in rajasthan. The market demand for
secondary education is growing rapidly throughout
India. More families have high enough income to
provide good education to their children. The
management believes that the market opportunities
are significant and the chances for success are
excellent

FINANCIAL PLAN

Five-Year Budget Plan

the five-year budget plan. The school will run KG


through 8th grade in the first year of operation. It is
estimated that the school will enroll 370 tuition-
paying students in the first year. Ten percent of the
total enrolled students will receive free education.
Each grade will have 45 to 55 students. An earnest
attempt will be made to reduce the class sizes in two

31
to three years once the school gets established. We
are very confident that it would be possible to charge
a higher tuition and fees once the school gains
reputation for high quality education. This will
enable us to reduce the class sizes and possibly run
multiple sections of classes.

The enrollment estimate of 370 students in the first


year of operation is a conservative estimate for the
number of students. There is a waiting line of
students to get into good schools
