UAE Education Sector

12

- The UAE is one of the more mature education markets in the region and remains a draw for investors, providers and students.

- In the 2017-18 Global Competitiveness Report, the UAE’s macroeconomic environment was ranked among the top 30 globally, with the country being the largest destination for FDI in the region.

- The government recently introduced ownership laws to allow for 100% foreign investor ownership of companies outside free zones and 10 year residency visa options – a move designed to drive more foreign investment into the country and attract longer term residents.

- More equity firms in the region are growing their education portfolios, with the education sector ranking second in terms of private equity transactions among all sectors in the Middle East.

EDI & FP Business Model

13

- The proposed business model is based on the specialized services within each organization that would be offered cost effectively to the local market;

- The suggested business model will be unique in the local market and number of competitors is few and would provide a good opportunity to operate & grow;

- The existing schools and academic facilities, public or private, are designed and operated on outdated learning and teaching modalities and most need certain transformation towards the latest learning models and approaches;

- Despite the current market conditions, demand for new schools is still promising and new school operators, local or int’l, would seek for one stop shop company that would provide the full spectrum of academic services;
