(i) Which sub-sector to invest in?

(a) Pre-school education
(b) K-12 schools
(c) Higher education (colleges, universities, technical education)
(d) Ed-tech (education provided through technology, media, and innovation)
Each of these sectors is sizeable, with some statistics indicating that the K-12 segment is the largest by revenue. It contributes about 52% of a total education sector market that is estimated at a value of USD 100 billion. Therefore, it is a large canvas for an investor to explore.
