ClearPath CEO Syndicate | April 2024 | Edward Slade

The education sector globally is undergoing a period of volatility, with government policy, changing student flows, investor funding priorities, technology and AI contributing to rapid change.

In our upcoming CEO Syndicate, we unpack the current shape of the Australian education sector and what we anticipate in 2024. This includes:

• The future of international study following the Australian, UK and Canadian government’s’ cuts in student visas
• The viability of EdTech companies that depend on government funding - what will the environment be like as COVID-related funding is withdrawn?
• The state of the K-12 sector, and how cost pressures and government intervention are impacting the performance of a sector that has been hugely popular with private capital

Edward Slade, one of the leading and most sought-after strategic advisors in education, will harness his executive experience in finance, strategy and research to guide this conversation. As the Managing Director of Schoolhouse, a corporate finance and strategy firm for education, Edward will give the Syndicate access to intel on key trends and trajectories of education in Australia, drawing on the latest report published by Schoolhouse.

Bring your insight on the education sector to this session, and share your ideas with the Syndicate.
