US education and for-profit schools

- Pininvest Analysis
Our selection tries to cover extensively all US-exchange listed for-profit schools because we are in no position to evaluate the actual quality of the education services provided – even the US Department of Education, under the former Obama Administration and today (in 2018), does not seem self-assured in evaluating the educational content itself
The job oriented measures, introduced by the former Administration and on the way out today, measured school performance in terms of employer recognition – quality training was assumed to lead to a high percentage of students entering the job market
Although costly to administer, and fairly arbitrary, the heavily criticized system was probably better than full ‘laisser-faire’ because the funding by student debt, and Government guarantee against future reimbursement, has to rely on successful job placement
Technological advance with new educational tools may well offer more effective and cheaper training formats and it is probably not a coincidence that the market clearly favors companies with large market caps such as Grand Canyon Education, Laureate, Adtalem Global, Chegg or Strayer Education to respond to the new challenge
