Main Education Sector Challenges

High delinquency rate and difficulty in receivables management | Compromised cash flow and inability to invest in infrastructure |
Compliance with MEC, INEP, and educational regulatory bodies | Risk of accreditation loss and inability to issue valid diplomas |
Deficient cost control per student and course | Inadequate pricing and unknown profitability per class |
Complex labor management (hourly teachers, faculty vacations) | Labor liabilities and difficulty sizing payroll |
