Markets

Affordable private schools are a global phenomenon, present in low-income communities of Africa, Asia and Latin America where public schooling has failed and enterpreneurs are responding to parental demand for school choice.

Africa has the fastest growing youth population in the world. Affordable private schools provide a vital alternative for education and in countries like Kenya, organization under school associations are helping these schools get noticed.

India's APS market appears to be the most sophisticated in the world. Early evidence suggests perhaps many more schools are operating profitably in India compared to other countries.

Latin America is arguably the least-well researched of all the APS markets. It is clear from early research that affordable private schools are playing a similar role here as they are in Africa and Asia.
