LIGHTHOUSE LEARNING PLANS AMBITIOUS EXPANSION, MAKING IT TO 3200 IN NEXT THREE YEARS

Being pioneers in the education and franchise industry, how many categories do you cater to in the education sector?

Ans: The brand operates in two segments: early years and K-12. In the early years category, we have two brands, EuroKids and Kangaroo Kids. Both brands operate via the franchise business model, largely franchise-owned and franchisee-operated. These are the two propositions that we franchise in the early years. In the K-12 segment, we have a house of brands ranging from premium to super-premium, including Euro School, Billabong High International School, Centre Point Schools, and the Heritage schools. We do not franchise these.

How has been the brand's growth so far especially post Covid?
