What this means

The Browns' School is a state-funded special needs school that receives partial government subsidy based on the number of learners and their disabilities. Due to reduced funding, the school relies heavily on parent fees and external donations. It actively seeks support through a fundraising committee, offering tax benefits for donations and requesting sponsorships for specialized equipment. The school encourages ongoing contributions to maintain its services and staff.
