Introduction The process of teaching and learning is better in private schools than other types of schools. The reason is that teachers’ presence, teaching related activity, and teaching techniques lead to enhanced learning performance. The private schools show better quality like teaching approach, attendance of teacher, school achievement, reduced class size, discipline, rules, regulations and cost effectiveness as compared with other state schools. These factors make the parents thinking of private schools (Ashley et al., 2014). Schools are expected to influence student achievement through management, policies, practices and the process carried out in the classroom. Schools focus on learners needs by allocating and deploying resources to perform learning activities. These activities are addressed via the professional development of the staff. The effective school structures including timetable, staff meetings, parent teacher meetings, school council and local community help in improving the learning environment of the schools. The learners are required to participate actively in the planning and management for providing a learning environment and smooth running of the learning process in the school. Active participation of learners, community and parent support help improve decisions about the learning of the students. The head of the institutions has a responsibility to work with the parents and the local community to describe the requirements of the students and the school — the head of the institution in collaboration with stakeholders like AEOs, Dy.DEOs, DEOs and CEOs, parents, students and teacher chalk out purposes, mission, and goals of the school. The head of the school prepare and implement a school development plan and staff development plan. These plans, in turn, improve student’s achievement. There are many school based plans and policies for assessment, evaluation and continuous monitoring of students. The head of the effective school formulates a process for assigning teaching assignment and for evaluating the performance of teachers. The head of the institution also establishes an atmosphere of trust, openness, and collaboration. The academicians and practitioners plan for learning of students at school level by utilizing curriculum, pedagogy and assessment schemes. The classroom plays a key role in linking education and the school. The shared and better understanding between teachers, students and the head of the institutions enable to improve the learning outcomes. The teachers plan, monitor and manage learning activities. The effective classroom has a task orientation to instruction for the students. The teaching style of teachers is very adaptable with the students. Teachers guide and instruct the learning process by providing motivations and reinforcements. The learning takes place in a cooperative and supportive atmosphere. All the teachers of school make all efforts to ensure the learning process to take place in a better environment (Pandya, 2011).
