Public sectors are “bound by a separate legal regime” and especially lately “because they have recently adopted some of the characteristics and…

school system were increased intensely. Facing intensive criticisms, the public school system in the United States was changed, and finally has reached to the edge of collapse in recent years. New schools such as charter schools, school vouchers, and private schools were developed dramatically (Ellis, 4-6).

In Aaker’s brand equity model (1991), five components are identified: brand loyalty, brand awareness, perceived quality, brand associations and other proprietary assets. Brand awareness is consumers'…
