Separate schools, higher education, professional training and learning technology. Learners, buyers, accreditation questions and operating economics differ across these models.
Questions to assess
What learner group and measurable learning or employment outcome are intended?
How are curriculum, instructors, facilities and specialist requirements verified?
What evidence supports enrolment, retention and the payment model?
Evidence and limits
Census age structure and human-capital context cannot substitute for segment-specific willingness to enrol or pay. A school-building estimate is not a current inventory of investable projects.
Information needed to start
Learner segment, delivery model, proposed outcomes, pricing assumptions and evidence of demand.
