“Yes”, knowledge does have a place.
Why invest in this trend?
-
The middle class of emerging countries is growing.And with it grows the desire to offer their children a better education than the one they received. A natural desire that will translate into increased spending on education by the families that make up this new middle class. A trend that is already being experienced in China and is expected to continue in countries like India.
-
The work environment is increasingly competitive.It is in this environment that education plays a key role. The changes that have taken place in society and, above all, those still to come, require continuous training for the acquisition of new skills needed to adapt to the new roles that society requires.
-
A piece of data: an estimated loss of more than 1.5 billion jobs.The ecological transition and the digitalisation or automation of processes require a transformation and training to allow the working population to continue in the jobs market.
-
And another piece of data, which demonstrates the opportunity to invest.Today, the education sector has only a minimal presence in the equity market, of just 5%.

-
A before and after the pandemic.New technologies have made it possible to normalise distance education, allowing access to quality education from anywhere in the world, in a personalised way, and evaluating the teachers, which is a critical aspect for quality control.
-
Reduced inequalities.These new technologies allow education to continue growing by up to 16% per year, reducing costs and distances, and favouring greater personalisation.

What do the experts think?
- The UN says that education enables upwards socioeconomic mobility and is an essential factor for escaping from poverty. However, over half of the world's children and adolescents are not achieving minimum proficiency standards in reading and mathematics.
- The UN says that enrolment in primary education in developing countries has reached 91%. However, this still means that 57 million children of primary-school age are not in school, and it is estimated that 50% of these live in areas affected by conflicts.
