GEW Malaysia 2020: The Business Of Education

To run an honest business in the field of education, it’s very important to take a step back from the bottom line. It’s very hard for business needs to link up with educational needs and it is very important that perhaps the educational needs of clients are met first, before business needs.

One of the largest problems is that education is such a wide open world for business. That doesn’t suit anyone corporate at all. Businesses need structure and strict avenues while the world of education is enormous, fluid and limitless. In the Western world, this is increasingly clear as commercial habits are entering schools.

Of course, there are plenty of ways to run a business in the education sector without forming a traditional school. You may have coded a new piece of software that can help schools meet their business needs. You might be a publisher of textbooks. You may have successfully bid to run a new university that may open up in the near future.
