To address with most of these issues, problems and challenges Shree Bhawani Vidyapeeth Secondary School has been facing in the present days, some strategic initiatives must be implemented as early as possible. Having realized this fact, some decisive steps have been formulated known as QEdLab approach. The Pre-
Primary and Primary wings will be converted into English medium. It is good omen that the Ministry of Education is also encouraging public schools to conduct classes with curriculum and content in English medium for the days to come.

Financial sustainability?

For the purpose of introducing new Montessori- based teaching system in the Pre-Primary and Primary wing of BVSS, the school will remain free of all costs at the initial year (2017- 2018 School calendar) for the purpose of its initial promotion and public support.

Effective from next year (2018-2019 School calendar), the school will collect nominal donations for conducting its academic and allied services from the student’s parents. No fees will be collected on profit basis, but with the purpose of covering the incurred overall individual students’ expenditure basis (per child educational expenditure: PCEE) which will be comprised of various factors such as unit operation cost involving Teachers and Staff salaries, other overhead costs, meal prices, transportation costs, stationaries, library usage, sports resources costs, utilities, multimedia based teaching resources unit costs, human resource development trainings and other promotional costs.

These approaches and efforts will be gradually implemented for the subsequent classes and level beyond Grade-5 up to Grade 8 (Basic Level Education in Public Schooling) in the next phase, ultimately to Grade XII in the end of the Public Schooling system in the subsequent years.
