HOW TO START AND RUN A SECONDARY SCHOOL

---

Business Description 

Best Step Secondary School which is to be referred to as “BSSS” has been incorporated to provide educational services to children between the ages of 11 – 17 years. Responsibility for educational institutions is shared between Federal, State, Local government, communities and private organizations. BSSS as a private entity will be a profit operating organization whose exclusive purpose is to provide sound education to corroborate the effort of government in building manpower, raising future leaders and ensuring growth and development of the nation.

1.2 Service Descriptions

According to the constitutional provisions, the main responsibilities of the Federal government in basic education are in the realm of policy formulation, coordination and monitoring. Direct control by the Federal government is predominantly at the tertiary level. Only a handful of institutions at the secondary level (the Unity Schools and technical colleges) enjoy federal direct control. The

bulk of secondary schools in the country are under the purview of state governments, which are also directly responsible for a considerable proportion of the nation’s tertiary institutions. Local governments have statutory managerial responsibility for primary education, with the federal and state governments exercising appropriate oversight functions.

 

The National Policy on Education stipulates a 6-3-3-4 structure offering six years of primary, three years of junior secondary, three years of senior secondary and four years of higher education. The category in which BSSS falls into is Junior and secondary schools which means it will be operating a six-year programme for the children that fall into the aforementioned age bracket. The education that is offered at this level has two purposes, one is to prepare pupils to exit school with necessary skills to find employment, and the other is to prepare them to continue with academic careers in higher institutions 

 

The establishment of BSSS aims at producing children with sound education, good behaviour-patterns, abilities and skills necessary for effective citizenship in the community. In addition we expect that any child that will pass through our education system would develop latent physical skills, character, and intellectual skills and inculcate respect for elders and those in position of

Authority. Other tasks to be performed by BSSS include developing in students a sense of belonging and to participate actively in family and community affairs and to understand, appreciate and promote the cultural heritage of the community at large.

 

 

 

1.3 Target Market and Customers

 

Our target market shall be children within the age bracket of 11 – 17 years of age as earlier mentioned. The community in which BSSS will be established has a great amount of this age bracket. For instance out of average population of 72,800,000 pupils who finish from primary school 67,841,600 of it normally proceed to secondary school.  After researching the population facts and statistics of Owerri community in which the BSSS will be launched, it is apparent that BSSS has a very suitable demographic for this particular industry.  Owerri is the capital city of Imo state and even the one of the largest cities in Eastern Nigeria, most inhabitants of this city are middle to upper-middle class who are elites and value formal education. The average combined family income per month was given as =N=350,000.00.  The result of our research carried out that each household will be willing to pay a reasonable sum of money as school fees for their wards as they want quality education that
