There are challenges and problems in either situation: the transferred management or not. There were many challenges and problems found through an analysis of the reactions given by the respondents:

• There is gradual increment in collection of donations and levies by the schools whose management has been transferred to the community.
• The political parties and teachers’ unions have not been advocating for the transfer of school management. There are even differences between a party worker and the teachers related to the sister organization of the same political party.
• The teachers appointed by the community are lowly paid.
• The government has only transferred the management but is quiet about the ownership. Many believe that the government will control all the schools.
