EDUCATION REPORT (DECEMBER 2018)

“Higher education is moving beyond being just access to content to focusing on outcomes. Long lasting companies are getting built where the focus is giving the right education - which could lead to outcomes. You will see many companies that will control the end to end experience of learners. K-12 has seen an influx of technology coming to the classrooms in the early days. There is also a larger trend of technology entering the ecosystem for process efficiency and enablement - communication admission process reminded etc. However the big challenge in that space requires multiple stakeholders to be convinced for any purchase decision - and becomes a hindrance to scale. The larger companies have really cracked this sector and scaled on the back of great product and more importantly - a very solid distribution network.“
