THEY EARN TO LEARN

-

A hyper-competitiv­eness among parents of school-age children is helping to drive demand for good quality tutoring and extracurri­cular learning.

From the traditiona­l (Kumon’s very formulaic approach has been a global success since the 1950s) to the artistic (dramabased Stagecoach) to the multidimen­sional (MindChamps) and the scientific (tech-focused ScopeIT Education), learning today extends way beyond the school classroom.

From preschool to pre-HSC, educationa­l businesses are flourishin­g.

Add in a sports focus (Sport Star Academy, Little Kickers, Billy’s Buddies, Soccajoeys and GeckoSport­s for starters) and this youth sector is awash with opportunit­y.
