K-12

Formal education is a primary necessity and the rising literacy numbers display how much it is valued. Unfortunately, the biggest stumbling block is the lack of quality education. Due to rising disposable incomes, there is a clear preference for private schools over government schools. However, the high initial capital investment, complex and rigid government laws, availability of qualified staff are key reasons why the private players have so far been conservative when it comes to investing in K-12 education. A pan country educational brand with an international collaboration to provide international standard quality education can be a game-changer. The K-12 institutes struggle with pricing decisions for admission and tuition fees, funding/capital management, cash flow management, cost optimization, franchisee management, and compliance management.

Practus provides business models, forecasts, business plans, MIS, fundraising assistance, continuous budget monitoring, and software integrations for better efficiency and delivering ROI.
