The construction with "While...." would suggest that another thought would follow in alternative or in contra-position to the first part. A couple of commas could be added as suggested by another answerer. In the second sentence, it might be better to replace "as" with "since", and put a comma after Reports. The word "Certainly" is not necessary.<br><b>References : </b><br> The first sentence seems to have something missing.

In the second sentence, it might be better to replace "as" with "since", and put a comma after Reports. The word "Certainly" is not necessary.

Also, you are missing two commas in the first sentence. Insert them after "example" and "schools". Even with commas added, the first sentence is quite awkward.<br><b>References : </b><br> It is grammatically correct but the sentence reads better if you rewrite it like this:
