Abstract

The private English medium schools in rural areas cater to the needs of the families of children from different socio-economic backgrounds. A private school that does not charge exorbitant fees is the ready choice of parents from economically backward families. Prasanna Matriculation Higher Secondary School in Puthiamputhur has visionary leadership with a deep commitment to educating all the children in the locality, irrespective of caste and economic status. In addition to making English Medium education affordable, this school accommodates parents' struggles through scholarships and concessions. The paper used a qualitative research approach incorporating a direct interview method, focus group interviews and researcher observations. The head of the institution and the seven children studying under the RTE scheme in class 9 were interviewed to bring out this piece of writing.
