Actis and Education
For families across growth markets, the best investment they can make is in their children’s education, as employers pay premiums for qualified, skilled employees and students seek higher paid jobs. Actis has invested into this trend across Asia, Latin America and Africa.
Actis established Honoris United Universities in 2017 to arm the next generation of leaders and professionals with the right values and skills demanded by tomorrow’s employers.
Through 70 years in growth markets Actis has seen that better education will contribute to rising incomes and employment opportunities. This in turn fuels the middle class expansion and consumption in these markets.
A better educated workforce will boost the countries’ competitiveness attracting investments and macroeconomic growth. Higher education standards are also vital to emerging countries as the economies are shifting towards more value-added sectors.
Actis has invested over US$ 0,5bn in the education sector in China, Brazil and across Africa. Actis believes access to quality education is integral to developing the next generation of leaders capable of positively impacting tomorrow’s societies and economies.
