MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS
Education is the key to progress. It empowers the individual and enables a nation. The most precious of all resources available to any country is its children and it is incumbent upon themto ensure that their children get all the opportunities they need for their physical as well as intellectual growth. A good education system must enable the child to grow intellectually and blossom into an enlightened citizen. The role of education in facilitating social and economic progress is well recognized. It opens up opportunities leading to both individual and group entitlements.
Zee Learn Limited (ZLL) (BSE Code: 533287 and NSE Code: ZEELEARN) with its PAN India presence in Pre-Schools and K-12 schools is all poised to leverage its position to take advantage of the changing dynamics of education sector. Zee Learn is all set to provide quality education in line with the new government’s vision of making India a knowledge superpower by equipping the students with necessary skills and knowledge. The company is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the growth of the education sector in India with its deep capabilities in content and curriculum creation, education infrastructure management and educational technology.
ECONOMY OVERVIEW
In July 2013, India was teetering on the edge of macroeconomic crisis with double digit inflation, a high and rising current account deficit (CAD), and a falling rupee as investor sentiment turned sour in the aftermath of the Fed's taper decision to signal the end of its quantitative easing. India was grouped with Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey, and South Africa to constitute the Fragile (Famous) Five amongst the emerging market countries (EMs).
Nearly 18 months on, the landscape has vastly changed. Macro-economic stability has returned, reforms are being undertaken, the external environment has moved in India's favour, and above all, a new Government has come into power with a relatively unencumbered political mandate for decisive economic change, a mandate that markets have enthusiastically embraced. The changing fortunes of India have been nothing short of dramatically positive. Inflation has declined by over 6 percentage points since late 2013, and the current account deficit has shriveled from a peak of 6.7 percent of GDP (in Q3, 2012-13) to an estimated 1.0 percent in the last fiscal year. Foreign portfolio flows (of US$ 38.4 billion since April 2014) have stabilized the rupee, exerting downward pressure on long-term interest rates, reflected in the yield on 10-year government securities, and contributed to the surge in equity prices (31 percent since April in rupee terms, and even more in US dollars, ranking it the highest amongst emerging markets).
In its Economic and Social Survey of Asia and Pacific, The UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) projected economic growth a shade higher at 8.2 per cent for 2016-17 than in the current financial year. India's economy is officially estimated to have grown 7.4 per cent in 2014-15.
INDIAN EDUCATION
INDUSTRY
The Education sector in India is poised at a crucial stage in its growth. India’s demographic advantage of having a large population of youth, coupled with low gross enrolment ratios, presents a huge opportunity to education sector players. At the same time, the growth of the Indian economy and upward movement of income levels is boosting spend on Education, which already accounts for the second-highest share of wallet for middle-class households.
Over the last two decades, India has remarkably transformed its higher education landscape. It has created widespread access to low-cost high-quality university education for students of all levels. With well-planned expansion and a student-centric learning-driven model of education, India has not only bettered its enrolment numbers but has dramatically enhanced its learning outcomes. A differentiated three-tiered university system - where each tier has a distinct strategic objective - has enabled universities to build on their strengths and cater across different categories of educational needs.
Further, with the effective use of technology, India has been able to resolve the longstanding tension between excellence and equity. India has\ also undertaken large-scale reforms to better faculty-student ratios by making teaching an attractive career path, expanding capacity for doctoral students at research universities and delinking educational qualifications from teaching eligibility.
In Budget 2015, the Government of India allocated USD23.6 billion for the education sector compared to USD22.8 billion in the previous budget. This presents a huge opportunity for the education sector. Of this, USD11.3 billion has been earmarked for general education while USD4.7 billion has been allocated for Sarva Siksha Abhiyan
INDUSTRY SEGMENT
OVERVIEW
The education market in India, which is presently worth around Rs.5.9 trillion ($92.98 billion), is poised for some major growth in the years to come, as by 2020, India will have the world’s largest tertiary-age population, and second largest graduate talent pipeline globally. Presently, higher education contributes 59.7 per cent of the market size, school education 38.1 per cent, pre-school segment 1.6 per cent, and technology and multi-media the remaining 0.6 per cent.
Due to the growth advantages, this sector has also received number of INVESTMENTS from several foreign organisations. In the period from April 2000- November, 2014, the education sector in India attracted FDI equity to the tune of $974.81 million, according to the Department of Industrial Policies and Promotion (DIPP).
OUTLOOK
Various government initiatives are being adopted to boost the growth of distance education market, besides focusing on new education techniques, such as E-learning and M-learning. The Government of India has taken several steps including opening of IIT’s and IIM’s in new locations as well as allocating educational grants for research scholars in most government institutions. Furthermore, with online modes of education being used by several educational organizations, the higher education sector in India is set for some major changes and developments in the years to come.
In recent years, India has undertaken massive structural and systemic changes that have started to yield encouraging results. The country has been touted to have the best-in-class post-secondary education system at present. Some of the significant factors that have contributed to this growth includes: expansion of a differentiated university system with a three-tiered formalized structure, transition to a learner-centered paradigm of education, intensive use of technology and reforms in governance.
