GET EDUCATED ON EDUCATION
If the school is not delivering Quality Education and you don’t know what Quality Education is and how it looks, then, your child may not be receiving Quality Education.
Unfortunately, many parents don’t know what they don’t know. Therefore, we have to educate the parent/guardian on what is needed to ensure a greater probability of their student receiving a Quality Education.
