    Executive Summary

    This summary outlines the characteristics of the international schools market and the

    demographic which are important in making a commercial assessment of the market in

    Isambardia.

    Global overview of the international schools market

    The number of English-medium schools has more than doubled in the last 10 years to reach

    the present total of 6,534. The number of students has increased from almost 1 million to a

    current total of 3.3 million and the number of teaching staff has risen to 307,745. Between

    2000 and 2013 the market value in terms of annual fee income grew from $4.9 billion to just

    over $33 billion. By 2023 the market is forecast to grow to over 11,000 schools, 6.3 million

    students, and 537,000 staff, with an annual fee income of almost $60 billion. In the year to

    January 2013 the overall number of international schools had grown by 6.6% and the number

    of students grew by 8.3%.

    Overview of the Isambardia market

    There are 100 international schools in Isambardia employing 7,300 members of teaching staff

    and educating 80,000 students. The international school sector is very UK-oriented with 62

    schools (62%) providing a UK orientation, i.e. they offer UK curricula and examinations. 47%

    of schools provide an international orientation and 19% provide an international baccalaureate

    orientation. 47 of Isambardias international schools are in the capital, Yetisberg and 21 are in

    Downtown. The number of students at schools in Yetisberg (25,186) equates to 31% of all

    students at Isambardias international schools. Downtown currently has 16,583 (21%).

    The Ministry of Education and Truth has outlined its ambition to turn Downtown into a

    regional centre of educational excellence and the city is expected to receive substantial public

    sector investment alongside private investment to set up new international schools. It is

    reported that the Asian School Development Group assess Downtown as a rival to Qatar

    and Abu Dhabi as the most exciting prospect for international schooling opportunities.

    ISC identifies premium international schools as international schools which (a) have been

    accredited by a recognised body, (b) are members of a regional association and (c) are

    authorised by a recognised examination board (if they have a secondary phase). There are 32

    premium international schools in Isambardia, these schools provide tuition for 28,000

    students and employ 2,485 teaching staff.

    The predominant nationalities of students at premium schools are Isambardian (31% of the

    student body) and British (26%). Among teaching staff Isambardian (36%) and British (25%)

    are the most common. Based on data from all 27 premium schools the average lower fees are

    $31,046 while at the higher end the average fees are $44,629 per annum.

    Within a group of 26 premium schools for which ISC has capacity data, the total capacity is

    24,380 student places, of which 23,150 are taken up by students; i.e. 95% of capacity is filled.

    In Yetisberg the capacity is 13,050 and the enrolment is 12,923, equating to 99% of capacity.

    Twelve of Isambardias premium schools have student enrolment which is more than 95% of

  • ISAMBARDIA MARKET RESEARCH REPORT

    COPYRIGHT ISC RESEARCH JANUARY 2013 Page | 3

    their capacity and eleven of these schools have waiting lists for admissions at primary and/or

    secondary level. Data from 28 premium schools show that 36% have waiting lists at both

    primary and secondary levels, 11% have waiting lists at secondary level, 25% have waiting lists

    at primary level and 28% have no waiting lists.

    Demographic factors underpinning the market

    Isambardia, officially known as the Peoples Socialist Kingdom of Isambardia, borders India,

    Pakistan and China. It has a slowly growing population recorded in its 2010 census at

    28.1million. The economy is ranked in the world top 20 and is continuing to grow at an

    average of 6% per annum and average per capita income is just over $47,000, though the

    highest quintile earns nearly four times this figure; the currency is the Isambardian Krugerrand

    (IKR). As of 2011 there were 3.2 million foreign workers in the country and this number

    continues to rise year on year, almost 10% of this figure are British citizens.

    The Ministry of Education and Truth is responsible for all education in Isambardia. It is

    common practice in Isambardia for children to receive private education in conjunction with

    attending state schools, and substantial incentives are offered to families to encourage

    educational excellence. In 2011 91.3% of all children received private tuition, the average

    expenditure per student, per month recorded $412 in 2011. Investment by several major

    multinational companies in Isambardia, particularly around its capital city Yetisberg, has seen

    families from the west relocate large numbers of staff to the country and the provision of

    international schools has expanded to meet this need.

    Growth and demand: the outlook for the market in Isambardia

    Demand for places at international schools in Isambardia is expected to continue following

    the trend established over recent years. The number of students at international schools in

    Isambardia has grown from 16,500 in 2000 to 80,000, an increase of almost 484% while the

    number of schools has grown from 21 in 2000 to its current figure of 100 schools, an

    expansion of nearly 476%. This growth is largely a result of the continuing development of

    the lucrative yeti farming market and the burgeoning Americranium industry but also due to

    the governments stated aim of making it easier for businesses in Isambardia to recruit highly

    skilled expatriates.

    In Yetisberg, which is the major centre of international school education in Isambardia, there

    is very little spare capacity at premium schools. The two schools known to be opening there

    within the next year will add 2,100 places to current capacity; this amounts to 8% of premium

    school places in Yetisberg. At the current rate of growth in demand, this extra capacity will

    be saturated within two years.

    Throughout the Isambardia 95% of capacity at premium international schools is filled. When

    the additional 8% of current capacity is released by the new schools, current enrolment will

    represent about 87% of new capacity. However, at the current rate of growth in demand,

    that unfilled capacity will be filled within three years.

    The strength of Isambardias agriculture and mining sectors and the expanding requirement

    for highly skilled expatriates in these, and other, sectors will drive growth in demand for

    places at international schools in Isambardia. Furthermore the demand for international

  • ISAMBARDIA MARKET RESEARCH REPORT

    4 | Page COPYRIGHT ISC RESEARCH JANUARY 2013

    school places from the native population will increase as it becomes wealthier and develops

    higher educational expectations.

    Conclusion

    Continued economic growth, especially in the mining and agriculture sectors, is drawing many

    highly skilled workers to Isambardia. This, coupled with a strong domestic appetite for private

    education, has led to a high demand for places at international schools and a rapidly expanding

    market. There are currently 100 international schools in Isambardia with 7,300 members of

    teaching staff and 80,000 students. The number of schools has increased by 484% since 2000

    and the number of students has grown by 476%.

    In response to, and in anticipation of, continued growth in Isambardias international schools

    market, several premium schools are due to open this year and in 2014. This indicates a high

    level of confidence in the future of the market in Isambardia.

    PART 1

    Demographic Study

    Isambardia is made up of 8 districts. The country has a population of 28.1 million people, 30%

    of whom live in Yetisberg and around 18% of the population live in Downtown, the countrys

    second largest city.

    Demographic Overview

    8 | Page COPYRIGHT ISC RESEARCH JANUARY 2013

    A1. Population Breakdown

    The 2010 census recorded Isambardias population at 28.1 million people ranking it the 45th

    most populated country in the world. This represents a population growth of almost 4% per

    year since the last census and takes into account an increasing number of migrants entering

    the country for employment.

    Due to a steadily declining fertility rate which reached 1.9 births per woman in 2010,

    Isambardia has seen a reduction in the proportion of its child population. The average age

    rose from 22.2 in 1960 to 33.3 in 2000. There are around 3.2 million international migrants

    residing in the country making up 11% of the total population.

    The population pyramids on the following page illustrate the percentage share of the

    population held by each five year age group and gender and the development that has

    occurred within the population structure since 1990.

    Comments:

    i. Isambardia is showing the early signs of an ageing population. The base of the pyramid

    in 2010 is much narrower than that representing the population in 2000.

    ii. The percentage of the population aged 14 years and below decreased from 46% of the

    total in 1990 to 34% in 2010; this trend can largely be attributed to the declining

    fertility rate.

    iii. The proportion of the population aged over 65 has risen from 2% of the total

    population in 1990 to 10% in 2010.

    A2. Density and Distribution

    Almost half of Isambardias population live in the two largest cities: Yetisberg and Downtown

    resulting in an uneven distribution across the country.

    The overall population density of Isambardia is 134/km2. Yetisberg by contrast is home to

    30% of the population and is the countrys most densely populated area measuring 6,509/km2.

    A3. Demographic Trends

    Organic Growth:

    Over the last 20 years Isambardias population has been affected by a decline in the fertility

    rate, having fallen from 3.2 births per woman in 1990 down to an all-time low of 1.9 births

    per woman in 2012.

    Figure 2 - Total Fertility Rate, Isambardia 1970 2010

    Socio-economic developments linked to these demographic changes include a rise in educated

    women, a rise in GDP per capita income and a falling mortality rate.

    In recent years, Isambardia has witnessed an increased number of women in the labour force.

    There has been a marked increase in the average age of first marriage for women, rising from

    23.3 to 26.6 between 1994 and 2010. The number of women participating in the labour force

    is ever increasing and many women are prioritising career development over marrying young

    and having large families.

    Migration Patterns:

    The 2010 census stated that there were 3.2 million foreign residents living in Isambardia,

    however, no further detail is given. Exact statistics regarding the origin of migrants residing in

    Isambardia is uncertain due to the absence of recent publicly available data.

    Isambardias net migration recorded a positive figure at the end of 2010. With government

    plans to attract foreign workers, the number of expatriates in Isambardia is expected to

    increase.

    A4. Population Projections

    Isambardias population is predicted to continue increasing over the next 10 years.

    A report released by the Isambardian Ministry of Compilations and Manifests stated that the

    population was projected to reach 35 million by 2020. These predictions are illustrated in the

    chart below.

    The population will continue to age and within 40 years the population of those aged between

    0 and 14 could drop below 25% of the total. Even the most conservative estimates see the

    proportion of the child population falling 4% from the current figure of 34%.

    B1. Economic Growth Patterns

    During the last 10 years Isambardias economy has grown substantially. Isambardias economic

    record had been built on a foundation of coal mining and yeti farming and until 2002 the

    economic growth of Isambardia was relatively constant. 2002 marked the discovery of

    Americranium, an extremely rare earth metal which has altered the future economic outlook

    for the country. GDP soared moving the country into the worlds top 20 largest economies.

    Coal mining and yeti farming are still the largest sectors in terms of employment but the

    Americranium industry is the largest in terms of revenue. In 2012 Isambardia had the 13th

    largest economy in the world and one of the largest in Asia by purchasing power parity with a

    GDP of IKR$223.4 billion.

    Isambardia is ranked as a middle-income country by the Organisation for Economic Co-

    operation and Development (OECD). The country recovered well from the 1997 economic

    crisis and achieved an average GDP growth of over 5% per year. In 2010 Gross Domestic

    Product (GDP) grew 12.2%, bouncing back after the recession in 2009 when GDP growth

    plummeted to 6% and has since soared to reach a record high of 12.6% in 2012.

    Figure 6 Gross Domestic Product Growth Rate in Isambardia, 2002 2011

    According to the Asian Development Outlook 2012, Isambardias economic growth is unlikely

    to be affected by the weakening global economy because of growing demand for

    Americranium and continued rising prices for the metal. Economic development may also

    suffer from an increased dependency ratio as the population continues to age. The

    dependency ratio is the number of people too old or too young to work divided by the

    number of people of working age (15-64). A higher ratio is not favourable to economic

    growth as the more dependants there are, the more money must be spent on supporting

    them. Attracting expatriates to the population will help to lower this ratio and increase

    economic development.

  • ISAMBARDIA MARKET RESEARCH REPORT

    COPYRIGHT ISC RESEARCH JANUARY 2013 Page | 19

    Despite the positive economic growth rate, the country has developed a high level of income

    disparity between the rich and poor. Income disparity is measured by the difference between

    the highest and lowest income groups. On this measure, Isambardia ranks as the 12th highest

    globally according to the World Bank with a gini coefficient of 52.1 (where 100 equals perfect

    inequality and 0 equals perfect equality). This has occurred as a result of the involvement of a

    proportion of the working population in mining and export of Americranium reserves.

    C1. Nationalities

    The Isambardian government has limited publicly available statistics regarding immigration and

    expatriates. A report released by the Ministry of Compilations and Manifests in 2010 states

    that foreign workers made up around 11% of the countrys population in the same year. This

    figure had been steadily rising for the previous 5 years. No official breakdown regarding the

    nationalities of Isambardias foreign population has been given, however estimates suggest that

    around 10% of expatriates originate from the United Kingdom.

    The graph below shows the national and non-national population within each region of the

    country. The largest concentration of expatriates are in Yetisberg, Downtown and Heetra.

    C2. Commercial Indicators

    Since the discovery of Americranium in 2002, the Isambardian government has implemented

    programmes to attract foreign investment and skilled foreign workers in a bid to boost the

    economy and to become firmly established as a leading producer of precious metals.

    Alongside plans to boost the countrys economy, the government plans to develop

    international education in the country. The Ministry for Education and Truths Ten Year

    Strategy describes its intention to attract 150,000 international students by 2020. In

    establishing Isambardia, and in particular Downtown, as a centre for world class education it

    is likely that there will be an upward trend in the countrys skilled labour force. As well as

    educating Isambardian citizens to the highest standard, expatriate skilled workers are more

    likely to be attracted to Isambardia if they are confident in the quality of international

    education provision in the country.

    The rapid growth of the mining sector has spawned rapid growth in economic activities which

    are allied to the mining sector, notably in precision engineering, corporate finance and legal

    services. In the past few years these sectors have been responsible for recruitment of a

    significant proportion of the countrys expatriate workforce.

    C3. Government Policy

    Isambardia issues two types of work visa:

    Employment visa this applies to investors, skilled workers and professionals working

    for up to ten years.

    Temporary employment visa this visa is intended for foreign nationals intending on

    working for up to three years, moving to the country without any dependants.

    In recent years, in a bid to boost global competitiveness, the Isambardian government has

    made it noticeably easier for expatriates to obtain a visa. This has developed from a need to

    bring in particular expertise in order for the economy to thrive.

    D1. Overview of Education System

    Demography and demographic changes have huge significance for any country. Demography

    is clearly linked to social and economic trends; demographic changes have a clear effect on

    economic production. The impact can be huge; worldwide, the combined impacts of

    demographic change have accounted for approximately 20% of per capita growth impact with

    larger shares in Asia and Europe.

    In education, demographic changes relate to the size and composition of the student

    population and the age structure and composition of academic teaching staff.

    Education in Isambardia up to tertiary level is governed by the Ministry of Education and

    Truth (MOET). The Isambardian government provides free primary and secondary education

    to all citizens (11 years) of which it is compulsory to complete a minimum of 6 years.

    Private education is available in Isambardia and has become increasingly prevalent since 2006

    when the government instigated plans to develop the quality of education in the country.

    Isambardia become host to many international education institutions in early 2007 and since

    then the market has grown substantially. International education is very popular among

    Isambardian citizens.

    The Ministry for Education and Truth's Ten Year Strategy is designed to increase the number

    of western education institutions; Isambardia will become a regional education centre that

    aims to result in a highly talented work force and a thriving economy.

    D2. Child Population

    The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs stated that in 2010 9.4 million

    Isambardians were under 15. This number as a percentage of the population has been steadily

    decreasing and this trend is expected to continue. Although the percentage is falling, in terms

    of absolute numbers the child population is beginning to plateau after several decades of

    growth as shown in figure 10.

    Participation in education is high in Isambardia having been recorded at 99% in a 2011 survey.

    These statistics comprise all schools governed by the Ministry of Education and Truth in

    Isambardia including foreign-owned international schools.

    Given that Isambardias education participation rate is nearing 100%; the demography of the

    country is likely to affect the number of student enrolments. The school enrolment figures

    should closely match the trends of the child population. This graph illustrates a small decline

    in national school enrolments between 2010 and 2012.

    As part of the Ministry for Education and Truth's Ten Year Strategy the government has set in

    place a goal to Intensify Internationalisation. The Ten Year Strategy describes the

    governments aim to attract 150,000 international students by 2020. The country has

    partnered with many international education institutions in an effort to boost its knowledge

    base and attract foreign talent. The government aims to host campuses for international

    education institutions at all levels.

    PART 2

    International Schools Market

    Research

    This report focuses on English-medium international schools. ISC defines an English-medium

    international school as one which delivers a curriculum to any combination of infant, primary

    or secondary students, wholly or partly in English outside an English-speaking country. There

    are, of course, exceptions, for example, American schools in the UK, British schools in

    America and also schools in countries such as India and Pakistan where English is one of the

    official languages.

    E1. Overview of the Global Market

    Market Development

    The number of English-medium schools has more than doubled in the last 10 years to reach

    the present total of 6,401. The number of students has increased from just fewer than 1

    million to a current total of 3.2 million and the number of teaching staff has risen to almost

    300,000.

    By January 2013 the overall number of international schools had grown by 6.6% and the

    number of students grew by 8.3% since January 2012.

    Between 2000 and 2013 the market value in terms of annual fee income grew from $4.9

    billion to just over $33 billion. By 2023 the market is forecast to grow to over 11,000

    schools, 6.3 million students, and 537,000 staff, with an annual fee income of almost $60

    billion.

    Determinants of Growth

    In general terms, demand for places at English-medium schools has been shaped by fast

    growing economies, increasing population and income, mobility of labour, a stronger focus

    on the benefits of education and the increasing dominance of English as the language of

    business. These factors have caused an increase in the number of families who recognise the

    benefits of an English-medium private education and have the means to pay for it.

    In addition globalisation has created an exponential increase in the number of expatriates in

    many international cities. Growth has been powered by the success of Asian economies and

    the inexorable rise in demand for an English-medium education. Many countries have been

    increasingly willing to encourage private education companies by lowering regulatory

    barriers and creating incentives for education. They do this to satisfy demand, benefit from

    the income expatriates bring, and raise standards by allowing competition.

    Trends

    The number of local students continues to increase, as does the number of schools that are

    run for profit. ISC estimates that globally 80% of international school students are now from

    local families, a complete trend reversal when compared to the last 20 years. There are also

    a growing number of schools that are bilingual in one form or another.

  • ISAMBARDIA MARKET RESEARCH REPORT

    COPYRIGHT ISC RESEARCH JANUARY 2013 Page | 37

    More countries want to expand their international school communities for the income they

    bring and to reduce the number of their own students going abroad to be educated.

    New housing communities are being planned, developed and built around the world. These

    properties are being sold to the wealthy, most of whom want an English-language education

    for their children although more and more also want to maintain their own language and

    culture. At the heart of each of these developments are schools and many are international.

    Asia, including Western Asia (the Middle East), has over half the worlds international

    schools. Growth has been powered by the success of Asian economies and the rapid and

    unstoppable rise in demand for and English-medium education.

    Fewer countries now prevent local students from attending international schools, the major

    exception is China which has the worlds largest student population at 200 million (20% of

    the total). China is developing its own international schools and discouraging further

    expansion of foreign owned and operated schools other than to satisfy the needs of the

    expatriate community.

    Many governments and cities are increasingly looking to increase the size of their

    international communities. There are significant economic benefits from encouraging

    international education both to bring in more expatriate and business income and to reduce

    the numbers of nationals going abroad to study.

    International school education is now big business. Responding to demand and government

    policy, many more investors are looking for opportunities and this further drives growth:

    Major development zones in many Asian countries bring international schools in

    their wake.

    Major residential developments for the wealthy are being built all over the world

    often with English-medium schools forming part of the design.

    Profit-making schools and school groups are looking for opportunities to expand.

    Growth will continue and competition for the best opportunities, the best teachers and the

    best students will increase.

    In general terms the supply of places at good international schools is not satisfying demand

    with many schools having long waiting lists. Some countries like Hong Kong and Switzerland

    have a chronic shortage of places with serious consequences for the business sector.

    Over the last two years there is much evidence that existing schools are increasing capacity

    as fast as possible. The number of new schools is increasing by 6.7% a year but the number

    of students by 8.3%.

    There are 100 international schools in Isambardia, with 7,300 members of teaching staff and

    80,000 students. Data collected from these schools form the basis of the information

    presented in this section of the report. Some aspects of ISCs analysis of these schools

    focus on schools in the two largest cities, Yetisberg and Downtown. These two regions

    encompass 68 of Isambardias international schools.

    ISC classifies 32 of Isambardias 100 international schools as premium schools (defined at

    the start of Section G). ISC gathers additional data from these schools, mainly through

    school visits, and the information presented in Section G is based on ISCs analysis of

    premium school data.

    The map on the following page shows the distribution of international schools throughout

    Isambardia. (Map not included in sample report)

    Comments:

    i. ISC classifies schools by their orientations, indicating the nature of the curricula

    and examinations offered.

    ii. Many schools offer more than one orientation. For example, many schools offering

    a UK orientation also offer an international orientation. This means that the total

    number of schools in the Orientation chart is more than the total number of

    schools in Isambardia.

    iii. 62 schools (62% of the total) offer a UK orientation, making this the most

    prevalent orientation among Isambardian schools.

    iv. 47 schools (47% of the total) offer an international orientation.

    v. 19 schools (19%) offer an international baccalaureate orientation.

    vi. A US orientation is offered by only 8% of schools.

    F8. Government Policy

    The government has introduced measures which will reduce the administrative burden of

    recruiting foreign workers, with the intention of facilitating the employment of highly skilled

    expatriates by local companies. These measures were put into place in late 2012 and are

    expected to have an immediate effect on recruitment.

    The government has relaxed the planning laws with regard to development of new schools,

    including international schools. For example, applications to develop schools on sites which

    were not previously used for education will benefit from expedited approval. Given the

    stated intention to attract 150,000 international students by the year 2020, education policy

    is likely to be favourable to international schools, as well as to foreign universities and other

    educational institutions.

    The introduction of a faster licensing system for new mines in 2011 has already had a

    positive impact on the development of new mines. This has been reflected in a surge in new

    mining start-ups and in the associated recruitment of skilled staff during the past year.

    Introduction

    ISC classifies 32 of Isambardias 100 international schools as premium schools. These are

    defined as international schools which:

    (a) have been accredited by a recognised body;

    (b) are members of a recognised regional association; and

    (c) are authorised by a recognised examination board (if they have a secondary phase).

    ISC gathers additional data from premium international schools, mostly through school

    visits. This section of the report focuses on the 32 premium international schools in

    Isambardia and the 28,000 students and 2,485 teaching staff at those schools.

    Maps showing the details and locations of the premium schools in Yetisberg and Downtown

    can be found at the end of this section.

    J1. Future Schools

    Listed below are schools which are currently being constructed and due to open in 2013 or

    2014.

    HDRC American School, Yetisberg

    Expected to open in September 2013.

    Age range 5 - 16, and will ultimately have a capacity of 900.

    Middle Earth College, Downtown

    A British curriculum school due to open in September 2013.

    It will have a capacity of 800 students aged 11 - 18, which will include 650 boarding places.

    FW Nietzsche International School, Ongoa

    International/IB curriculum school due to open in September 2013 in Ongoa.

    It will be the Brock School Networks second school in Isambardia, with capacity for 1,200 students aged 3 to 18.

    Hogwarts International School, Yetisberg

    A British curriculum school due to open in January 2014.

    Age range 3 - 18, with a capacity of 1,200.

    Ryecatcher Academy, Downtown

    An American school due to open in September 2014.

    It will offer tuition to the 11 - 18 age range.

    The total new capacity at these schools is 4,100, although some of this capacity will not be

    available until September 2014. The additional capacity accounts for just over 5% of the

    countrys current enrolment at international schools and 15% of enrolment at premium

    schools. ISC does not have information on the capacity at Ryecatcher Academy.

    Further new capacity will be released when the site of the old BAT International School in

    Yetisberg is redeveloped. Several of the major international school groups are known to be

    interested in acquiring this site, which is expected to be sold within the next few months,

    J2. Market Outlook

    Demand for places at international schools in Isambardia is expected to grow rapidly,

    continuing the trend which has been established over the past ten years. This is largely

    because of the continuing development of the Americranium industry and partly because of

    the governments stated aim of making it easier for businesses in Isambardia to recruit

    expatriates.

    In Yetisberg, which is the major centre of international school education in Isambardia,

    there is very little spare capacity at premium schools. The two schools known to be

    opening there within the next year will add 2,100 places to current capacity; this amounts to

    8% of premium school places in Yetisberg. At the current rate of growth in demand, this

    extra capacity will be saturated within two years.

    Throughout the whole of Isambardia, 95% of capacity at premium international schools is

    filled. When the additional 8% of current capacity is released by the new schools, current

    enrolment will represent about 87% of new capacity. However, at the current rate of

    growth in demand, that unfilled capacity will be filled within three years.

    The strength of Isambardias mining sector and the expanding requirement for highly skilled

    expatriates in this and allied sectors of industry will drive growth in demand for places at

    international schools in Isambardia. Furthermore the demand for international school

    places from the native population will increase as it becomes wealthier and develops higher

    educational expectations.

  • ISAMBARDIA MARKET RESEARCH REPORT

    84 | Page COPYRIGHT ISC RESEARCH JANUARY 2013

    Conclusion

    Isambardias economy has relied heavily on coal mining for many years. It received a

    massive boost from the discovery of Americranium in 2002. GDP since then has soared

    and new business sectors connected with the mining industry have grown. However the

    indigenous working-age population has not grown fast enough to satisfy the demands of

    these new industries for labour. In particular the supply of highly skilled workers has been

    insufficient. These industries have therefore recruited a substantial number of expatriate

    workers; the economy could not have grown as fast as it has without them.

    As the economy continues to grow, this trend will continue. This will inevitably add to the

    demand for places at international schools. Current capacity at premium international

    schools is 95% filled, many schools operate waiting lists and the pipeline of schools due to

    open during 2013 and 2014 will not provide enough additional capacity to meet the

    expected demand in early 2016. This situation will lead to longer waiting lists at the best

    schools and to fee increases which exceed inflation. It is also highly likely to lead to the

    development of new schools to meet increasing demand.

    In response to, and in anticipation of, continued growth in Isambardias international schools

    market, several premium schools are due to open this year and in 2014. This indicates a

    high level of confidence in the future of the market in Isambardia.
