Inadequate funding for education is not the key challenge facing South Africa’s struggling public education system; rather, the inefficient allocation of public funding is the biggest problem.
These and other ongoing issues with the South African public education system have strengthened the case, and opportunities, for independent schools. Private education companies address the critical education issue in South Africa, which is an important investment consideration, given growing investor awareness of environmental, social and governance considerations in the investment process.
From an investment perspective, we typically like businesses with some diversification and Advtech has a differentiated offering from a stage of life perspective. The company also meets this criterion by owning multiple differentiated brands, including the well-known Abbotts College, Varsity College, Rosebank College, Trinity House and Crawford schools.
The company’s foray into the education sector dates back to the mid-1990s and I believe that this is why the business has such a good understanding of the sector. One cannot underestimate the expertise required to operate across Africa in such an important sector. Advtech proves that it has the expertise time and again when picking new school sites, building new schools on time and within budget and when identifying acquisition targets.
