This digital book is the first in a planned series that brings a set of eight of these special reports together in the one volume. They are, as the title of this series says, “reports from the frontier”: up-to-the-minute accounts describing how universities and those who fund higher education are coping with the challenges that confront them in an increasingly globalised world.

China: Education and Training Industry Overview of Emerging Tier II Markets 2008/2009 Update

INTRODUCTION

The objective of this report is to provide an overview of the Chinese market for education and training, specifically language, IT, soft skills training, and children’s education. The focus is on key emerging markets beyond already established cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou. All data and figures in this report are current through the end of 2007; 2008 figures will be released in quarter three of 2009.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Market overview. China has one of the largest education systems in the world in terms of number of students, with more than 163 million students enrolled in primary and secondary schools at the end of 2007. In the training market, there are over 100,000 registered training companies; however there are thousands more training companies that are not legally registered. In general, the market is highly fragmented and quality of companies and programs varies considerably.

Impact of the economic crisis. China is experiencing an increase in unemployment levels, as a result of the world economic crisis. In order to become more competitive in the labor market, more people, including recent university graduates, are pursuing further study, creating significant opportunities in some education fields. However, consumers are becoming more particular in choosing their where they receive their education, limiting the opportunities for very small or less known institutions. Children’s education, language, IT, and soft skills training are the largest segments of the training industry.

Key segments. Children’s education, language, IT, and soft skills training are the largest segments of the training industry. While the English language market is characterized by fierce competition, the IT training market is now mainly dominated by a few large foreign-invested players. In the children’s education segment, the number of training institutes has increased rapidly over the last few years and competition is strong in Tier I and key Tier 2 cities. The soft skills training market on the other hand, is characterized by thousands of very small companies (often with only 1 or 2 people), only very few of which are well-known throughout China.

Drivers of growth. The lack of skilled professionals and management talents in China is a key driver of growth as companies often use training to improve skills of employees as well as a retention tool; individuals also sign up for training programs to improve their own career advancement opportunities. These factors all drive demand for language, IT, and soft skills training. The children’s education sector is driven by an increasing number of wealthy parents eager to spend on extra education and training courses for their children. In the education sector, the number of school places offered in the public education system cannot meet demand, resulting in rapid growth of the private education sector.

Regulatory environment. The regulatory environment for the education sector is complex, with marked distinction between “core” and “non-core” education. “Core education” includes basic and higher education; it is heavily regulated by the government and must be non-profit. Foreign companies wanting to offer “core education” must be already qualified educational institutes in their home country. “Non-core education” includes training companies offering training to professionals and corporate clients and it is more open to foreign players and less subject to extensive screening procedures. Enforcement of rules for “core education” providers at the local level also vary, with many institutes – even including well-known ones – operating or having operated in the past without proper licenses.

Key emerging markets and best prospects. Five key emerging markets are analyzed in this report: Tianjin, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Ningbo. Shenzhen has a fairly well developed training market across all sectors. There is strong demand for language training in Tianjin and Qingdao, which until recently has been partly driven by the 2008 Olympics, as both cities were co-hosts of the games. Besides English, Japanese and Korean languages are also popular in Qingdao due to the presence of many Japanese and Korean-invested companies. There is good potential for Oral English and English testing in Ningbo and Nanjing; the IT training markets are also just taking off in both cities.

Market access. Foreign companies looking to set up an education or training company in China can either: 1) partner with Chinese educational institutions, such as university, or 2) establish a commercial enterprise (Joint Venture or Wholly Foreign-Owned). The first option is generally used by education providers, e.g. higher education institutes, and is regulated by the rules on “core-education” services. The latter is generally used by training providers, e.g. IT or soft skills training.

Potential Opportunities in Indian Education Market

The Indian education industry is in its development stage. With economic growth and enhanced technology it has become necessary to develop the structure of the Indian education sector. Funds are a major concern in the market though government has taken many initiatives for the development of education infrastructure which can be fulfilled by private players. The government has opened the doors for foreign universities which will help in shaping the education industry structure. 
 
The numbers of junior basic schools are highest in the country and there is a strong need to set up higher secondary schools as well as colleges with a focus on IT education. Government has set up many ICT schools but still more than fifty percent of the market is untapped which shows an opportunity for private players. In respect to the country’s population and number of students, trained teacher’s ratio is low which emphasizes the need of training institutes. The growing IT industry in India is driving IT education and training market as well as enhanced teaching techniques. 
 
The report highlights opportunities prevailing in the Indian education industry. It focuses on market size of all the segments like schools, colleges, other institutes and ICT schools. The number of professional colleges highlights the need of new teaching techniques and bright future of vocational training market. Scope of foreign universities is a part of the report and it also gives an overview of issues in regard to the foreign universities entering in India. Competitive landscape is also a part of the report which tells the level of competition and major players in the market. The report profiles major players with focus on key strategies adopted by them.
