Description 1086-1094
Choosing the right primary school is a critical decision impacting a child's educational journey and development. This
study aims to provide insights into the factors influencing parents' school selection, benefiting parents, policymakers, and
school administrators in aligning education with parental expectations. Utilizing the Spherical Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy
Process (SF–AHP) and the Measurement Alternatives and Ranking according to Compromise Solution (MARCOS) method,
the study employs mixed–method research, including in–depth interviews and surveys distributed across regions, focusing
on 30 randomly selected parents from the Nagpur region. Key findings highlight that Safety and Security, Reputation and
Reviews, School Culture, Quality of Curriculum, and Teaching Staff are the primary determinants of school choice.
Furthermore, a well–rounded education, incorporating extracurricular activities and parental involvement, also holds
significant importance, while student–teacher ratio, transportation facilities, and school timings are of lesser concern. This
research offers comprehensive insights into school selection, aiding stakeholders in enhancing India's educational landscape
for young learners by considering a broader scope of influencing factors compared to previous studies.
