Reasons why parents take their children to what were formerly model C schools:

l Smaller classes, so more individual attention.

l Better resources such as sports facilities, science and computer labs.

l Less vandalism of school property.

l Security and resources for help.

l Teachers inform parents of pupils' development.

l Parents are confident children are safe while they are at work.

l Parents participate in governing bodies and school activities.

l The belief that the child will have a better chance of being accepted for tertiary education.
