The range defined by either is often based on demographic factors, such as an increase or decrease in the relative numbers of younger or older students, with the aim of maintaining stable school populations.

...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Education is the best thing that a parent can give to his or her children aside from love and care that they need. Education is about learning that everything has an explanation to it; it is about longing to find reasons to answer various questions. Education can guide us to enlightenment. It is education that builds in every individual, a confidence to take decisions, to face life and to accept accomplishments and disappointments. Education is very important to the healthy growth and development of a young individual’s personality. It brings experiences on character building, sense of responsibility, knowledge about many things, and it makes one skillful, equipped and prepared to face the challenges that will come his or her way and to make one’s dream come true. It opens doors of brilliant career and opportunities in life. Being in high school is one of the most important endeavors that a child should experience. It may be difficult to adjust to the new changes during the first year because some can be confused and scared but it can also be very exciting to others. However, the students will soon notice that high school life and learning is fun yet complicated.
