The Education Industry
The education industry in the United States is in disrepair and in need of many changes
Investing in education
The global supplemental education market will top 102.8 billion dollars by 2018! The United States market is reported to be in excess of 8.9 billion dollars a year and markets are forecast to grow at an annual rate of 13.68% between 2017-2021. Now is the time to get involved in this burgeoning industry, and GradePower Learning® is the perfect avenue from which you can do so—today!
The tutoring boom is ignited by school budget cutbacks, fewer teachers being available in classrooms, a growing focus on standardized tests, falling test scores, and academic competition expanding on a global scale.
Public funding for schools is dwindling as the economy struggles to right itself. Schools are closing. Teachers are in a precarious situation with salary freezes and classroom sizes increasing. It’s left to the private sector to rescue failing school systems and to really leave no child behind.
We have developed a business model, support network, and operating system that, when followed, can be personally fulfilling and very rewarding for you and your family. You have an opportunity to make a tremendous difference in the lives of children and their families within your community.
