Net Promoter Score (NPS)

Respondents score the question "How likely are you to recommend the school?" 0–10. Promoters (9–10) would actively recommend; Passives (7–8) are satisfied but unenthusiastic; Detractors (0–6) are unhappy. NPS = % Promoters − % Detractors, on a −100 to +100 scale.

Likert agreement

Each closed-ended statement uses a 5-point scale (Strongly Disagree → Strongly Agree). % agreement = share who picked Agree or Strongly Agree. The mini distribution under each tile shows the full breakdown.

Open-ended themes

Replies are pattern-matched against curated theme buckets. Each theme card shows mention volume, a one-sentence narrative of the top sub-aspects respondents named, the full sub-aspect breakdown, and a verbatim quote per top sub-aspect. A reply touching two themes is counted in both; a reply touching two sub-aspects within one theme is counted in both, so sub-aspect totals can exceed the theme total.

1
Technology-supported quality education
12 mentions

Promoters repeatedly single out Pharo's technology-enabled, quality teaching — many use almost identical wording about 'technology-supported quality education', plus a strong focus on English and STEM.

“Because it has quality education and competent teachers, provides technology-supported education, and gives special attention to the English language.”ጥራት ያለው ትምህርት እና ብቁ መምህራን ስላሉት እንዲሁም በቴክኖሎጂ የታገዘ ትምህርት ስለሚሰጥ በተቸማሪም ለእንግሊዝኛ ቋንቋ ልዩ ትኩረት በመስጠቱStaff, Promoter (NPS 9)

Clear vision, structure & staff benefits

Several cite a clear vision and mission, an organised international-standard structure, digital work processes, and benefit packages that make it a center of excellence to work in.

“It has clear vision and mission and as well as clear organizational structure with varieties benefit packages for employee.”Staff, Promoter (NPS 10)

Best school in the area / real change
6 mentions

Promoters see Pharo as clearly better than other schools in the region and point to visible improvement in students.

“Because compared to other schools, I have seen a big change in many respects.”ከሌላ ት /ቤት አንጻር በቡዙ አይነት ትልቅ ለዉጥ ስለአየሁት ነዉ።Staff, Promoter (NPS 10)

Passives Scored 7 or 8

Great for students, but not for staff pay
4 mentions

Passives rate the school highly for teaching quality and standards for students and parents, but hold back because staff pay does not match the work.

“For employees, in terms of pay, I would not recommend it; but for students and parents, since it maintains educational quality and standards very well, I would recommend that they study there.”ለሰራተኛ ከክፍያ አንጻር አልመክርም ለተማሪ እና ወላጆች ግን እጅግ በጣም የትምህርት ጥርቱን እና ስታንዳርዱን የጠበቀ በመሆኑ እንዲያስተምሩ መክራለዉ።Staff, Passive (NPS 8)

A few give a qualified score tied to the service or to shaping the next generation, noting there is still room to improve.

1
Salary too low for the cost of living & workload
12 mentions

By far the dominant detractor reason: teacher salaries are described as very low against Asosa's cost of living and a heavy workload, with an unclear salary structure and no chance to earn extra income.

“I work a great deal of work for long hours, yet the salary I am paid is very low for living, so life is very difficult.”በጣም ብዙ ስራ ለብዙ ጊዜ እየሰራሁ ነግር የሚከፈለኝ ደሞዝ ለኑሮ በጣም ዝቅተኛ ስለሆነ ኑሮ በጣም ከባድ ነው።Staff, Detractor (NPS 6)

“The salary paid to teachers is low.”የሚከፈለው የመምህራን ደሞዝ አነስተኛ ነውStaff, Detractor (NPS 4)
2
Transport — school is outside town
4 mentions

The campus sits outside town with no staff transport, forcing extra cost and hardship to commute.

“1st, the salary the school pays teachers is very low relative to the cost of living; 2nd, since the school is outside the town, we are subjected to transportation costs and suffering; 3rd, we struggle because there is no supply of any kind of drinking water; 4th, we are in difficulty because teachers have no laptops.”1ኛ ትምህርት ቤቱ ለመመህራን የሚከፍልው ክፋያ ከኑሮ ወድነቶ ጋር በጣም ዝቅተኛ ነው፣ 2ኛ ት/ቤቱ ከከተማ የወጣ በመሆኑ ለትራንስፖ ወጪ መዳረግና ስቃይ ላይ በመሆናችን፣3ኛ ምንም አይነቶ የሚጠጣየወሃ አቅመርቦት ባለ መኖረ መቸገር፣4ኛ ለመምህራን ላፕቶብ ባለመኖሮ ችግር ላይ መሆናችን።Staff, Detractor (NPS 4)

No drinking water & no laptops/materials
4 mentions

Detractors flag basics that are missing — safe drinking water and laptops/teaching materials for teachers.

“The educational materials are not sufficient for teachers, for example laptops.”የትምህርት ቁሳቁሶ ለመምህራን አያማላም ለምሳሌ ላብቶብStaff, Detractor (NPS 6)
4
Heavy workload & finance bottlenecks
4 mentions

A few describe an excessive workload and financial/administrative bottlenecks that slow the work down, and one calls the organization manipulative.

“I would not recommend it at all, because at Pharo Schools: 1. The work done and the salary paid do not match, and there is no opportunity to earn additional income to overcome the current high cost of living. 2. There is a very heavy workload. 3. When you try to get work done, financial matters are major bottlenecks and delay the work.”በፍፁም አልመክርም ምክንያቱም በፋሮ ተ/ቤቶች ውስጥ፡ 1. የሚሰራውና ስራና የሚከፈለው ደመወዝ ስለማይመጣጠንና የዘመኑን የኑሮ ውድነት ለማሸነፍ ተጨማሪ ገቢን ለማግኝ እደሉን ስለሌለ፡፡ 2. ከፍተኛ የሆነ የስራ ጫናና ስላለ፡፡ 3. ስራ ለመስራት ሲታሰብ የፋይናንስ ጉዳዮች ከፍተኛ ማነቆዎች ስለሆኑና ስራን ስለሚያጓትቱ፡፡Staff, Detractor (NPS 0)

Missing transport & a broken promise
28 mentions

The dominant reservation is the absence of a promised transport/bus service, compounded by distance from the city; some are considering withdrawing. The single biggest drag on their scores.

“I recommend it moderately, because you said you would provide transportation but did not, so most parents plan to withdraw from Pharo School next academic year.”በመጠኑ እመክራለሁ ምክንያቱም ትራንስፖርት እናቀርባለን ብላቹሁ ባለማቅረባቹሁ ቀጣይ የትምህርት ዘመን አብዛኛዉ ወላጅ ከፋሮ ትምህርት ቤት ለማቋረጥ ነው ያቀደዉParent, Passive (NPS 8)

Declining quality & unmet expectations
13 mentions

A recurring reservation is that quality has slipped over time or never reached the international standard promised at registration, capping enthusiasm.

“Because it is better than the other schools in the region, even though you do not teach to an international standard as you said you would at first. The head teachers are also not doing their jobs properly; at the time of registration they said they would teach to an international standard, but they have done nothing different.”በክልሉ ካሉት ትምህርት ቤቶች የተሻለ ስለሆነ ምንም እንኳን መጀመሪያ እንዳወራቹህት በአለም አቀፍ ስታንዳርድ ባታስተምሩም። ርእሰ መምህራኖችም ስራቸዉን በአግባቡ እየሰሩ አደለም መጀመሪያ መዝገባ ወቅት በአለም አቀፍ ስታንዳርድ እናስተምራለን ብለው ግን የተለየ ያደረጉት የለም።Parent, Passive (NPS 7)

Transport & distance

By far the dominant complaint: the relocated campus sits far outside Assosa, and the promised student transport/bus service was never delivered, forcing families into extra cost and daily hardship.

“Being located outside the town; the absence of transportation service; if I don't see student transportation at the start of next year, I won't enroll for 2019.”ከከተማ ወጣ ያለ መሆኑ፤ የትራንስፖርት አገልግሎት አለመኖሩ፤ በቀጣይ አመት መጀመሪያ ላይ የተማሪ ትራንስፖርት ካላየሁ ለ2019 አላስመዘግብምParent, Detractor (NPS 0)

Declining education quality
46 mentions

Many parents say the school was excellent two years ago but its academic quality and reputation have visibly deteriorated, with rival schools catching up.

“Before 2 years age Pharo school is excellent in quality of education but right now quality of education is not good as compared to the previous years”Parent, Detractor (NPS 5)
“Compared with other schools in Assosa, our school previously had a stronger reputation. However, its performance has recently been declining, while other schools are making significant improvements. If this trend is not addressed, parents may choose to enroll their children in other schools.”Parent, Detractor (NPS 5)
“The reason is that, beyond the decline in the quality of education, the school has been experiencing weekly teacher turnover, and the quality of teaching has continued to deteriorate from year to year. in addition, student discipline has been steadily declining, creating a challenging learning environment.”Parent, Detractor (NPS 1)

Weak student follow-up & monitoring
37 mentions

Parents report a loss of close supervision, accountability and support for individual learners, including no tutorial help for weaker students.

“Letter formation instruction in Grade 1 is inadequate. Students consistently form letters incorrectly, but teachers fail to provide the necessary corrections. Classroom monitoring and follow up have weakened, and there appears to be a lack of ownership and accountability.”Parent, Detractor (NPS 0)

Broken promises, campus move & management
27 mentions

Parents feel deceived: the school registered children at the old campus then moved them to a new one far away, and shows management/trust problems (some allege corruption).

“In the 2018 academic year, they registered us for Campus 1 but sent us to Campus 2, which exposed us to unwanted expense; it has also created pressure on my child's education.”በ2018 የትምህርት ዘመን ለካምፓስ 1 መዝግብው ወደ ካምፓስ 2 የላኩን ሲሆን ላልተፈለገ ወጪ ዳርጎናል፤ በልጄ ትምህርትም ላይ ጫና ፈጥሯልParent, Detractor (NPS 1)

“Some teachers are reported to discriminate. They do not treat existing and newly enrolled students equally”Parent, Detractor (NPS 0)
“The comments forwarded by the parents should be implemented. The Grade 3rd Environmental Science teacher is very dictator. for example, he tells students to work and submit hard question 1-17 within one night, without considering whether the workload is reasonable.”Parent, Detractor (NPS 5)
“Some teachers are effective, while other overload students with excessive texts and frequent worksheets, which should be addressed.”Parent, Detractor (NPS 5)

Transport & school distance
430 mentions

By far the dominant ask: the school is far from town and parents want the promised student transport/bus service delivered at a fair price. Many say high transport costs are hurting their household finances and threaten to withdraw their children if service is not provided.

“Transport: most parents have suffered a great impact on their daily lives due to high transport costs”ትራንስፖርት፡ አብዛኛወቹ ወላጆች በከፍተኛ ትራንስፖርት ወጭ ምክንያት የእለት ተእለት ኑሯቸው ላይ ትልቅ ጉዳት አድርሶባቸዋልParent, Grade 11

Facilities & environment (compound, water, toilets, playground)
235 mentions

Parents want the dusty compound paved and cleaned, a reliable water supply for drinking and handwashing, clean toilets, safe playgrounds, and repairs to windows, desks and leaking roofs. Many tie the dust and lack of water directly to children's health.

“The cleanliness of the surroundings and the school compound is not befitting the school. Especially, since the school compound is dusty, it is very difficult during the dry season”የአካባቢው እና የትምህርት ቤቱ ግቢ ንጽህና ለትምህርት ቤቱ አይመጥንም። በተላይ የትምህርት ቤቱ ግቢ አቧራ ስለሆነ በበጋ ወቅት በጣም አስቸጋሪParent, PP1

Dining hall & meal supervision
200 mentions

A very common request is a proper student dining area or cafeteria, plus closer supervision to ensure children (especially the youngest) actually eat and wash their hands before meals.

“Supervising the children when they eat; there should be water and soap for handwashing; student transport / service”ልጆጅ ምግብ ሲበሉ ቁጥጥር ማድረግ፣ የእጅ መታጥቢያ ዉሃና ሳሙና ቢኖር፣ የተማሪ ትራንስፖርት/ሰርቢስParent, Grade 1

Textbooks & learning materials
180 mentions

Parents repeatedly ask the school to supply enough textbooks, exercise/communication books, reference books and a stocked library, ideally affordable and allowed home so parents can help study.

“If the school printed textbooks and the children brought them home, it would also help parents to help them study”ትምህርት ቤቱ መጽሃፍ ቢያሳትም እና ወደቤታቸዉ ይዘው ቢመጡ፣ ለወላጆችም ለማስጠናት ይጠቅማልParent, Grade 2

Student behavior, discipline & safety
170 mentions

Many parents want stronger, consistent discipline with corrective action taken in close collaboration with parents, better supervision during play and entry/exit times, and tighter verification of who collects children.

“More work is needed to improve student behavior. Working on student behavior, taking corrective actions, and collaborating closely with parents.”Parent, Grade 4
“Parents should not be allowed to pick their children at any time they choose. One day, when I arrived at the school, I saw a parent taking his child home without the security guards asking for verification of his identity.”Parent, Grade 1
“When children misbehave, reconciling with them together with the parents instead of handing them over to the police”ልጆች ሲያጠፍ ለፖሊስ አሳልፎ ከመስጠት ከወላጅ ጋር በመሆን ማስታረቅParent, Grade 6

Student follow-up & tutorials for weak learners
150 mentions

Parents ask for closer academic follow-up, weekly parent feedback (a communication book), and dedicated tutorial/remedial classes for average and low-performing students, while not neglecting them in favour of top performers.

“parent teacher communication should not be limited to quarterly meetings. instead, a communication book should be introduced to facilitate weekly exchanges of information and feedback.”Parent, Grade 3
“identifying student that score low result and give tutorial class, give homework/class work/assignment based on their understanding of their grade level”Parent, Grade 3
“The school tends to favor high performing students and neglect low performing; this should be corrected”Parent, Grade 5
7
Teacher quality & turnover
130 mentions

Parents feel teacher competence is limited and want qualified, permanent teachers (not temporary hires), capacity-building training, and careful recruitment of caring, trustworthy staff for young children.

“Greater attention should be given to teachers. It would be beneficial to give greater attention to the teacher recruitment process. Teacher selection should not be based solely on academic qualifications; it should also assess how well teachers interact with children, the level of care and support they provide, and whether they are trustworthy and suitable role models. This is particularly important because teaching students in grades 1-6 requires close engagement and nurturing. since teachers play a decisive role in shaping both the school and the development of responsible citizens, careful consideration should be given to their selection.”Parent, Grade 3
“Teachers should be permanently employed so that they can spend a longer period working consistently with students, The school should also consider publishing or providing its own learning/teaching materials.”Parent, Grade 2
“Frequent teachers' turnover should be improved, create competition among students”Parent, Grade 5
8
English language & teaching quality
120 mentions

Parents want a stronger focus on English (and Maths), less rote copying from the blackboard, more practical and student-centred teaching, and worry the new campus's teaching quality has slipped from the old school.

“The English results are very low, improvement in the teaching methodology is needed”Parent, Grade 6
“Avoid enforcing students writing a lot of texts from the blackboard”Parent, Grade 5
“High emphasis is given to the theory part, please also focus on the practical sessions as well”Parent, Grade 4
9
Fairness, equal treatment & affordable fees
75 mentions

A pointed minority raise favouritism toward wealthy or officials' children, ethnic discrimination in treatment and registration, and ask that fees be affordable and that late-paying parents be contacted rather than having their children barred from class.

“Seeing all the school's students with an equal eye; that is, giving grades and prioritizing rankings by distinguishing an official's child, a rich person's child, as well as a close relative, is observed. Therefore, this thing must be corrected quickly.”ሁሉንም የትምህርት ቤቱን ተማሪወች በእኩል አይን ማየት ማለትም የባለ ስልጣን ልጅ፣ የሃብታም ልጅ፣ እንዲሁም የቅርብ ዘመድ በመለየት ዉጤት መስጠት እና ደረጃ ማስቀደም ይታያሉ። ስለዚህ ይህ ነገር በተሎ መስተካከል አለበት።Parent, Grade 2
“Some teachers make tribal or ethnic remarks that are inappropriate. For instance, during student registration, they were treated differently based on their ethnic background rather than through a fair and respectful process. Such behavior creates discomfort and undermines trust. The issue should be addressed to ensure that all students and parents are treated equally, respectfully, and without discrimination.”Parent, Grade 3
“When school fee payments are delayed because some parents forget or are unable to pay on time, the school should communicate with the parents rather than preventing students from attending classes. Excluding students from class due to delayed fee payments can negatively affect their psychological well-being and emotional development.”Parent, Grade 2

Serving community out of commitment

One promoter is inspired by colleagues who serve the community out of their own initiative.

“I would recommend it. Because when these people serve the community on their own initiative without anyone forcing them, how could we not work? So since the benefit goes beyond the individual to the country as well, I encourage people.”እመከራለው። ምክንያቱም ሰዎቹ ማንም ሳየስገድዳቸው በራሳቸው ተነሳሽነት መተው ህዝብን ሲየገለግሉ እኛ እንዴት አንሰራም። ስለዚህ ጥቅሙ ከግለሰብ አልፎ ለሀገርም ስለሇነ ሰዎችን አበረታታለው።Staff, Promoter (NPS 10)

Pay, workload & inflation
6 mentions

Detractors say working hours and salary don't match, pay ignores current inflation, and there is heavy, disproportionate workload — one English/Maths teacher may teach 20+ periods a week plus extra duties, with a wide, unfair pay gap.

“Improper workload. For example, an English or math teacher who teaches 20 or more periods a week is given additional related tasks; that is, no attempt is made to make it proportional with other staff who have lower workloads, or they are assumed to have equal workloads. Above all, the payment of completely and unfairly disparate salaries; instead of taking educational level into account, staff are paid widely differing amounts based on their length of stay at Pharo; salaries are paid so disparately as if we belonged to different fields of work. For example, one staff member with one year of Pharo work experience differs by about 7,000 birr. I have found the reasoning to be very weak.”ይለአግባብ የስራ ጫና :: ለምሳሌ 1 እንግሊዘኛ ወይም ማትስ መምህር በሳምንት 20 እና ከዛ በላይ እያስተማረ ሌላ ተጎዳኝ ስራወችን መስጠት:: ማለትም ሌሎች ዝቅተኛ የስራ ጫና ካላቸው ሰራተኞች ጋር ፕሮፖርሽናል ለማድረግ አለመሞከር ወይም እኩል የስራ ጫና እንዳለባቸው ማሰብ:: ከሁሉም በላይ ደግሞ አላግባብ ፍፁም የተራረቀ ክፋያ መክፈሉ:: የትምህርት ደረጃ ከግምት ዉስጥ ከማስገባት ይልቅ ሰራተኛው በፋሮ ባለው ቆይታ በጣም የተራራቀ ክፍያ መክፈሉ:: የተላያየ የስራ ዘርፍ ያለን በሚመስል መልኩ የተራራቀ ደመወዝ መክፈል. ለምሳሌ 1 ሰራተኛ 1 ዓመት የፋሮ የስራ ልምድ ያለው በ 7000 ብር ያክል መለያየቱ:: አመክንዮው በጣም የደከመ ሁኖ አግኝቸዋለሁ::Staff, Detractor (NPS 2)
