Education and the public sector carry a dual mandate — expanding access and quality while structuring deals, capital, and governance with the rigor that large, public-interest initiatives demand.
The global picture
Globally, private capital and PPP structures are increasingly funding education and infrastructure at scale, while nations rethink their growth engines for the decades ahead. The work sits at the intersection of commercial discipline and public accountability.
- Private capital and PPPs funding education and infrastructure.
- Consolidation creating scaled, investable education groups.
- Nation-scale growth strategies seeking new engines of GDP.
- Governance and accountability rising up the agenda.
Public-interest scale needs private-sector rigor — and the patience to match.
What’s hard right now
The challenge is bringing commercial discipline to mandates where the timelines are long, the stakeholders are many, and the accountability is public.
- Deals that must balance returns with public interest.
- Growth ambitions outrunning capability and governance.
- Fragmented education assets hard to scale and fund.
- Long horizons and complex stakeholder structures.
How leaders are winning
- Structure deals that balance returns and public interest.
- Build the governance large initiatives demand.
- Design growth strategies grounded in real capability.
- Sequence scale against funding and execution capacity.
- Make the long-horizon case credible and executable.
We delivered a market-expansion strategy for one of Indonesia’s largest education groups — a 4x student target — and redefined an Indonesia growth story across 6 new sectors, a five-year plan toward 8% GDP CAGR to 2045.
Every sector is different, and so is every starting point. When the timing is right for your team — a transformation, a transaction, or a sharper strategy — we’d welcome a conversation grounded in your reality, not a borrowed playbook.
