Julitha Cecilia John from the University of Oslo asked herself this question and published a corresponding study in 2009. It is interesting, but also understandable, that the quality of education is assessed and measured differently depending on the type of respondent (pupils, parents, teachers, head teachers). As a result, there are clear recommendations for state elementary school to follow the processes and structures of private schools.
For us at Schulbank, the question of state or private school is primarily about our children, not the costs. They should receive a good education and the same opportunities as the children of wealthy parents.
From this perspective, we prefer to work with private schools until state schools improve under the increasing pressure to act.

Challenging – the first application round 2014/15
/in News, Uncategorized/by AlexanderThe response to our scholarship program in Tanzania has been enormous. In the last two months, we have conducted more than 120 interviews with potential children and their parents or guardians. We pay attention to the social and financial circumstances in which the children live. In some cases, we also look at the living conditions of the families and orphanages on site. The basic prerequisite for a scholarship at Schulbank is a clear commitment from the parents and children, which is confirmed to us, among other things, by the parents’ financial contribution of 25% of the school fees.
