Any idea how they plan to manage the pedagogical side of things? This is always the underpinning of a solid private sector educational offering. Harmonized curriculum across the brand or continuing 'independant' operation? How are they planning to manage agent commisions? Where's the marketing plan to actually attract students to these rebranded schools? The numbers at the schools in Vancouver are at historically low volumes. They won't have bums in beds unless the amp up the real student volume.


As the saying goes - "If you build it, they will come"

I don't think students are at these schools for the education exactly as I don't think investors are here for the education revenues.  I think students are in these schools for a bed in our country; the same reason investors are here - the rental revenues.

And in worst case scenario, where the educational revenues suffer and/or dryup, what's stopping CIBT from becoming a pure rental property owner/manager?
