In addition to this, the migration of a good number of experienced teachers of STHSG affected the standard of the school. Its reputation of being a high standard school had greatly declined. This is worsened by the discovery of the real status of the school, its lack of permit or recognition from the government, which created a great financial problem for the school. The standardization of teachers salaries the compulsory giving of monthly allowance the DEC vehement suggestions to complete the library and the laboratory facilities, the disapproval of the applications for recognition and increase in tuition and other fees have further aggravated the financial problems of the school.
