EduCorp Limited sets up and operates various educational institutions that each provide an educational offering to appropriate clients in the following sectors

Basic Education

  • Nursery Schools – baby care to kindergarten
  • Primary – grades 1-7
  • Secondary – grades 8-12
  • High Schools – grades 10-12
  • K-12 schools – nursery–grade 12

Tertiary Education

  • Business and accounting colleges
  • Vocational skills colleges
  • Medical Colleges
  • Arts and language colleges
  • Universities

Each EduCorp institution will operate separately with its own administration but will be guided by its divisional or group objectives and will also be managed as part of the whole group.

The institutions are being established over a period of years and in a sequence and pattern determined as progress is made, success is achieved and opportunities are identified or become available.

The Company has adopted a flexible approach to the establishment development and management of schools, colleges and other educational institutions:

  • While some institutions will be wholly owned, many will be created and established through joint ventures and strategic partnerships, with some being part owned, and others being operated under management contracts with their owners.

  • Different standards of schools will be offered to cater for various economic levels and locations

  • Some schools will be already in existence, while other will be started from scratch.

  • As the cost of land and buildings is the biggest barrier to growth, EduCorp will primarily make use of rented premises that are well located.

  • A number of strong brands will be created and built up that will enable for penetration into new areas.

EduCorp will also provide an ideal corporate partner for foreign investors wishing to come into Zambia and set up ventures in the Zambian education sector. We have already received various enquiries from several potential partners.

These foreign partners will benefit from being able to work with a corporate professional partner that is well established on the ground, with a high level of corporate governance practices, and a range of institutional investors that can pick from various EduCorp investment options.

EduCorp has started out as a private company that will be owned and financed by the founding promoters. It will eventually be converted into a public company that will be quoted and then listed on the Lusaka Stock Exchange through a number of phases.
