ADvTech’s Group revenue grew by 18% while Curro’s revenue increased by 15.5%. ADvTech’s Roy Douglas says demand for quality education in South Africa is ‘unrelenting’ – probably more so during tough economic times.

Two of the country’s biggest private education operators are thriving, in a tough economic climate, as parents and caregivers put an increasing premium on quality education, viewing it as essential to success rather than a luxury.

“The group recorded pleasing increases in learners, revenue, profitability and cash generated during the first half of this year,” says Greyling. In the period under review, Curro invested R549-million in expansion, with the primary focus on existing facilities. “We are on track with our overall capex programme to invest up to R1.1-billion in the business this year,” says Greyling.

“Our relentless focus on enhancing our value proposition and academic delivery, as well as driving operational efficiencies, are evident in our continued enrollment growth. Overall, the group’s healthy financial position reflects the quality of our assets as well as the strength, flexibility and agility of our business model.”
