Key Insights Unlocking Financial Empowerment And Investment Potential For Low-Fee Private Schools Through The School Leadership Academy (SLA)

Through targeted training in budgeting, operations, financial record-keeping, and credit readiness, school leaders build capacity to make informed financial decisions, improve school operations, and access financial services. School leaders are also sensitized on the financial products and services available in the market, particularly those developed with Opportunity EduFinance technical assistance. This report presents insights captured from post-workshop and follow-up surveys with SLA workshop attendees, including 45% women. In total, the team carried out 7,406 school profile surveys administered before the workshop, 5,357 post-workshop surveys, and 2,805 follow-up surveys conducted three months after the workshop. All of the school leader respondents were from low-fee private schools, with 85% charging less than $100 per term, and 41% charging fees between $10-$30 per term.
