Core Projects and technologies Ltd, an Indian education software services provider to overseas universities, plans to acquire a U.S. company for as much as $40 million and use its technology to boost sales in the South Asian nation. Core Projects also plans to spend 10 billion rupees ($213 million) to build schools in India.
Core Projects wants to tap business as the government of the world’s second-most populated nation eases rules to lure private investment in education to train people joining the workforce. Only 12 children out of every 100 make it to college in India and those who do get a university education are hampered by poor teaching and crumbling infrastructure. The government wants to raise this level to 30 percent by 2020.
The preference to spend on quality education is increasing in India as the economy expands increasing scope for the private sector. There are about 480 universities and 22,000 colleges in India and it needs 600 more universities and 35,000 extra colleges over the next 12 years to reach its enrollment goal.
