Education in Emerging Nations Faces Unique Challenges, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

In less-developed nations, public education is often very poorly funded and of low quality, particularly in villages and rural areas.  In the most challenging schools in low-income regions, books are scarce and teachers have little formal training.  In such regions, wireless networks and internet connections combined with very low-cost laptops and online teaching aids are slowly spreading, making a tremendous difference for students and teachers alike. 
Meanwhile, private, for-pay schools are on the rise around the world, especially in poorer countries.  Millions of school-age children are not in school around the globe, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and South and West Asia.  The United Nations has a goal of getting these children into schools.  Public education in such countries, which is typically free-of-charge, is often of such poor quality that many low-income parents are willing to endure the struggle to pay for private schools.  At the same time, a number of governments are building more public schools but cannot find enough qualified teachers.
