Answer: Establishment of Academic Coaching Centers in New South Wales and Victoria Introduction Academic coaching is partnership activity that focuses on improving the process of learning and improving the learning habits of students in order to improve their grades. This is through identifying the difficulties that students undergo when learning and developing strategies to address these difficulties. The role of establishing a chain of coaching colleges is to ensure that learners between the ages of 7 to 12 achieve maximum scores based on their academic abilities. Role that Academic Coaching will Play in Improving Grades Coaching Helps students to understand how to spend and utilize constructive time that they have at school. This is through assisting them to develop strategies that will help them plan for their time and at the same time distribute the time among several academic activities that they need to perform(Eisner, 2004). Teaching them how to effectively function at school and develop academic pace that can enable them to compete with others. Students need to be coached to understand the difference between school and home environments. This will enable them to easily balance school and home activities(Eisner, 2004). For example students may carry homework from school and at the same time need to attend to other home based activities like playing games or household chores. Teaching students on the relevance of putting efforts in the line of career that they want to pursue in future. Adds that Eisner (2004) despite passing the overall exam, students need to focus on the subjects that they want to major I as their future career. Students need to be assisted to balance between schools subjects at the same time specialize in the ones that they feel fall within the career they want to pursue. Coaching will assist students to gauge their abilities and choose a career that fits their academic performance. Assisting students to balance between school and home environments as a way of enabling them easily balance their activities. This is through developing strategies that will ensure they are able to balance domestic issues with academic issues and drawing a line between them. Characteristics of the Chosen Local Governments The coaching institutions will be established in New South Wales and Victoria local governments. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2017), the two states offer the best demographic cgararcersiis for both population of adults who are able to pay for the coaching fees and at the same time the population with children that fall within the age of 7-12 years. The statitics for the two states are shown the table below. Table one: Demograhic characteristics of New South Wales and Victoria New South Wales Victoria Employed fulltime population 2,619,100 2,056,400 Age group between 35-65 2,929, 800 2,305,900 Couple family with dependent children 1,321,215 1,093,202 Child care cost 0-12 years(US$) 174 174 According to the research, disposable income is a key indicator of the ability for parents to afford school fees for their family members. This is based on the available household income and that the population within the two states has and the GPS per capita for every household. Per capita GDP is a measure of the total output that a country has and divided by the total people within the country. This is used for comparing one state to another or one country to another(Harding, Beer, Hugo, Tomaner, Shackleton, 2015). This is a measure of the states performance by measuring the overall performance. The characteristics used for choosing the two states include the number of adults who are likely to fall within the range of parents and have the ability to pay and the number of children who fall within that age range and are going to school (Victoria State Government, 2016). Further, this is based on the number of schools within the two states and the total population of children in school as shown in table two(Wulff, Carter, Vineberg, Ward, 2008). Table two: Number of Children and schools within the two states New South Wales Victoria Number of dependent children 3,7740 3,123,343 Number of school going children year 1-5 567, 347 518,507 Numbers of schools 2,621 2,239 Conclusion From the statistics, the two states offer the best business environment for establishing start up coaching centers. The states have enough population and adequate number of people to satisfy the initial target market for the business. Therefore New South Wales and Victoria states offer the best environment for establishing the institutions both as pilot projects and the foundation for the business.
