To many parents who are of low income status,it's a dream come true for their children to attain quality affordable education from Springs alive community school.Yet it still remains a big challenge for many parents to afford the small amount of school fees charged by Springs to maintain operations at a bear minimum.This is evidenced by the number of pupils who could not receive their report cards and holiday packages due to limited funds since Springs has to pay off service providers to print the same.Reports show that only 10% of our total pupils are able to pay off their required fees,28%are able to pay atleast half and the 62 are not able to pay.One will wonder,how does Springs alive maintain daily operations,pay off teachers,and save for expansion needed due to increasing of pupils from disadvantaged/low income earners yarning get education .Alot is still required .The 5 class room block available is not enough to accommodate pupils,talk about the number of teachers (teacher pupil ratio),lack of the printery system forcing springs to incur such expenses.These are among the few concerns that Springs alive community School is fighting to work on with the limited proceeds it gets each term.
Due to these challenges,most pupils were not able to report with their holiday packages to enhance their education to mention but a few.
