Abstract
The classic investment opportunity involves a company that has a systematic solution to a problem and how successful that company may become depends on how big the problem is and how well the company solves it… The shift we see [in education] is a system going from a government-run monopoly with little accountability and, by definition, no competition, to a market driven system that competes on price and quality. As in health care, the delivery of service and the change in funding sources will be critically interactive as an investment driver. [These shifts] do not occur overnight, but with the increasing discussion, consideration, and implementation of charter schools, school choice, private management of public schools and vouchers, we are certain that the traditional way education and child care have been delivered and funded will continue to change, and there is no going back (Lehman Brothers in Investment opportunity in the education industry. Lehman Brothers, New York, 1996).
