This guide has been prepared as a
reference for International Finance Corporation (IFC)
partner banks and other investors considering an investment
in private education. It aims to: 1) describe some of the
special features of private education entities, such as
primary and secondary schools, technical and vocational
colleges as well as tertiary colleges and universities; and
2) indicate the key questions to ask and what to look for
when such institutions are being appraised. The document is
divided into four sections: i) the education sector in
emerging economies; ii) investing in education; iii)
national policies and regulation; and iv) good practice,
pitfalls and performance. The first section sets the
education market in a global context, explaining why the
private sector is emerging as a major player in many
countries. The second section sets out the different
approaches of private equity and banks as lenders. The next
section focuses on the national context and describes some
of the national policies and regulations that might
influence the operations and profitability of an education
institution. The final section illustrates the elements of a
successful education investment from both the financial and
educational points of view. |
