The education sector in South Africa remains one of the major challenges for our country, with many public schools struggling to yield positive results and private schools being too costly for many South African households to afford. This challenge, however, signals a gap in the market and provides an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the private education sector to flourish while contributing to improvements in the education sector.
The opportunities available to SMEs wishing to enter into the education sector are extensive – from private pre-primary schools to support services and innovative educational products. If SMEs take advantage of this opportunity, the education sector can not only be improved but also become more inclusive to provide the best prospects for all of South Africa’s children to one day contribute to a better-performing economy with lower levels of inequality and lead to improved lives.
