List Of International Schools – Rising Rapidly

 The sheer number of international schools is increasing by the day, thereby heating up the competition in the education market. They are nudging each other off through intense creativity with regards to curriculums and technology used. The best international schools are fighting it out to surface to the top. The better the school more the number of parents want to get their children into them. In earlier times parents used to enrol their children in whichever school was closer to their vicinity. They used to try to cut out travel time. This would also save on travel cost. There was a concept of municipal schools in earlier times. These schools were deemed as poor quality schools with respect to quality standards. These schools used to have the local language as the language of learning. They were called vernacular medium schools. All the subjects were taught in the local language. People who could not afford to get their children into good schools would enrol their children in these municipal schools. These schools were run by the local government. The teachers were not well trained. The classes had too many students and usually the classes were filled with cacophony.

Before the advent of international schools, in earlier times at rural areas schools were just grounds without a shed. There were no sheds to protect the children and teachers from rain or heat. But still teachers and social workers used to teach children. Sometimes they would not even get paid. Slowly the condition of schools started improving. There were sheds made, then, slowly there were single floor buildings made and so on. But child labour was highly prevalent and parents preferred sending their children to earn money and support their family rather than sending them to school. Then the government thought of a master plan. They started offering free meals to students who attended school. This initiative saw a rise in the number of rural children attending schools. The food actually lured a lot of school children as they were able to satiate their rumbling tummies. The government also imposed a law that child labour would be a punishable offence. Therein lot of small time organisations, hotels and tea vendors stopped employing children under the age of 15. This move made more students enter schools and study. Slowly even impoverished families started understanding the importance of education in building careers in the future. Illiterate parents started thinking that what they underwent, the hardship they undertook should not be undertaken by their children. They started getting their children into better schools.

These days, parents are shelling out a huge chunk of their salary for education of their children as school fees. Best international schools charge a bomb when it comes to school fees. But still parents are striving hard to get their children enrolled in these schools. The list of international schools taking interviews of children has been nullified. Government has imposed a rule that children should not be interviewed during admissions. So, international schools are now interviewing parents. The whole educational scenario has changed in India.
