YOUR SCHOOL MAY LOOK BUSY AND STILL BE BLEEDING
A school can have:
✅ Classrooms full of students
✅ Teachers moving around
✅ Parents constantly calling
✅ Activities happening every week
…and still have a serious business problem.
Here are 5 questions every school owner should answer honestly:
1. How much money are parents currently owing you?
Not “many parents owe.”
What is the actual figure?
2. How many enquiries became actual admissions last term?
If 50 parents showed interest but only 5 enrolled, something is happening between interest and conversion.
3. How many teachers left in the last 12 months?
And more importantly:
Why did they leave?
4. What problem keeps coming back despite your efforts to fix it?
That recurring problem may be a symptom, not the root cause.
5. If you stopped personally supervising the school for 30 days, what would break down?
That answer can reveal how dependent your school is on you.
🎯 THE REAL QUESTION ISN'T: “Is my school functioning?”
It's:
“Is my school functioning efficiently, profitably and sustainably?”
Don't wait until the problem becomes impossible to ignore.
Diagnose the bottleneck.
Understand the cause.
Then fix what actually needs fixing.
