SCHOOL CHALK PRODUCTION TRAINING



It’s not an exaggeration to state that school chalk is one of the most lucrative business in developing countries especially countries in continents of Africa, Asia and South America. This is because of the increasing numbers of public and private schools. Primary and secondary schools as well as universities and polytechnics are springing up all over the world. All classrooms in all the schools make use of chalk on daily basis and this chalk has to be produced.

It’s a fact that we have got whiteboards and markers but still chalk is an indispensable teaching tool almost in each and every teaching institute in Uganda. I can recall my own childhood days in this regard. When I had started going to school, I was introduced with the blackboards and white chalks for the first time and so are you I guess. However, usage of chalk is not only restricted to educational institutes but it is widely used as makers on various



materials for different types of jobs like tailoring, carpentry work, construction and survey jobs.

Starting a small business unit in school chalk production is a great way to start an individual career with handsome income opportunity. This venture can even be started from home. The required investment for starting such a business is very low and the manufacturing process is also very easy. This business yields high profits in comparison to the low invested capital. School chalk sticks are the basic stationary required in every school and colleges in our country which are still using blackboards for teaching purpose.

WHY CHOOSE SCHOOL CHALK MAKING BUSINESS

Before selecting any business idea, it is very crucial that proper and complete information is gathered about the business. If the different features of the business suits individual expectations then it can be started for a profitable venture.

Here is a number of advantages of starting a school chalk making business.

LOW INVESTMENT

The required investment for starting the business is very low. It can easily be started with a



capital of around ugx900’000 to 6million shillings

HOME BASED BUSINESSThe school chalk making business can be started on a small scale business unit and the production can be done at your home in a single room also. If you have an adequate empty place at your residence, then it can save a lot of investment required for taking a different place on rent. In home-based business, you can also take assistance from your family for the operation of the business.

MARKET POTENTIALAlmost over 95% of educational institutes in Africa, Asia and South America still uses blackboard for teaching purpose. This makes school chalk a compulsory stationary item in



these institutes. Over this, chalks are quite cheaper than the modern equipment thus it has a greater demand. The product also has a great demand in private coaching classes.

So, written above are the few basic reasons for starting a chalk manufacturing business. But along with the different pros, every business has their own cons too and in the school chalk making business the biggest disadvantage is the economic development of the country that has led to the evolution of whiteboards

Yes, due to rapid economic growth, educational institutes are approaching towards the modern ways of education. The white boards are taking the place of the blackboards, thus markers are used in place of chalks. But in my country “UGANDA”, there are still a lot of educational institutes who uses blackboards and there is a lot of market opportunity for the chalk making business since the modern way is also costly compared to chalk.



MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF SCHOOL CHALK

The manufacturing process of chalk can be easily done from home. You do not need a factory to start the manufacturing process. The chalk mold is the primary chalk making machine required in the manufacturing process. The basic function of the chalk mold is to give size, shape and length of the chalk. The machine is either made up of metal or plastic with metal frame.

Nowadays dustless chalk is in a very high demand. Normally for making dustless chalk there are 2 methods. Most of the manufacturers are aware of 1 single method which is by using 3 times costlier material.

And second new and updated in which adding some chemical to POP make it dustless type. This will negligibly increase the cost of production.
