Education
The education industry spans private and private sector brick & mortar entities as well as the fast-growing online e-learning segment that includes non-profit/for-profit courses that result in a certificate/degree and massive open online courses or MOOCs, and corporate training. According to one source (IBIS Capital) the global education market is worth $4.4 trillion with elearning the fastest-growing segment- expected to grow 23% by 2017.
In higher education, a demand for better return on investment is changing the way students and potential students in both developed and developing countries view available educational options- by institution, by country, by mode. Tutoring and testing services providers benefit from the divergent trends of educational system inadequacies and the need to secure a place in the best schools by delivering superior test scores.
Greater use and acceptance of elearning in corporate training is a clear trend. English language skills, IT skills, and sales and safety training drive the business learning market globally.
Geo Strategy Partners serves education clients with customized research and analysis, branding and strategic consulting support. Our focus is on higher education and corporate training; we do not typically work in K-12 education.
