Question
Describe two advantages to MSS of being a charity (line 14).
Explain how the school could overcome high labour turnover.
Markscheme
Advantages to MSS include:
- land being donated – unlikely if not a charity
- grants – usually only available for charities
- books being donated
- the management being able to focus on their mission rather than profits, which may make the mission and vision more attractive to potential students/parents
- possible tax advantages
Accept any other reasonable description.
Award [1] for each advantage, up to a total of [2].
Award [1] for putting the advantage into context, up to a total of [2].
Key aspects leading to high labour turnover are:
- poor accommodation
- having to teach only in English
- no career development
- no professional development
- standard pay scales.
Solutions likely to come from these including higher wages, more levels of hierarchy, access to new technology, staff involvement.
Explanation/analysis will come from discussing these and any other relevant issue. Candidates do not need to discuss these in relation to motivation theories, such as Maslow, Herzberg, Taylor, Adams or Pink but these could be rewarded.
Accept any other reasonable explanation.
Award a maximum of [3] for a theoretical answer or for only analysing one method/idea.
Award a maximum of [5] if the analysis of two or more methods/ideas is mainly descriptive but in context.
Only award [6] if the answer takes into account constraints on methods/ideas eg limited finance, being a charity etc.
