A post in the Wall Street Journal has stated that with the current state of the education system in the United States, there may not be enough funding available from the government. As a result, the article mentions about going to the private sector to fund education. Even then, it’s shown that Venture funding for education has risen in both the amounts and deals made.
The only roadblock that is present is the current system of schools and how there is a need for tough regulations and procedures to ensure that the private entities are doing the best to improve education funding in the United States.
Regardless of the outcome, this is a radical new change and opportunity for the VC world to tap into a market that currently is crumbing. The only issue is the high amount of accountability that will be placed on the private sector.
