Business Opportunities in The Gambia

Do you know that 1 in 4 Gambian students is enrolled in a private school, and this estimate will increase drastically within the next 10 years to come. Rapid population growth, poor funding, corruption and neglect have caused a serious deterioration in the quality of education in our public schools. As a result, more Gambian parents are looking to private schools to ensure their kids get a good education. And the demand for this alternative is skyrocketing. And this trend of low-cost private education is leading foreign entrepreneurs to exploit the inherent business opportunity therein while Gambians entrepreneurs continue to sleep..I believe if Gambian business men and women were to enter the low-cost private education space in the Gambia, I suspect the fierce competition will improve the quality of education, drive down school fees, and afford many children the chance of a decent education.
