Saudi Arabia, the most populated country in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), represents the largest education industry in the region. With over 50% of the Kingdom’s 27 Million people below the age of 25, the country’s education sector holds an immense potential. The country is making concrete efforts to develop its education sector at the primary, secondary, and higher levels in order to satiate future knowledge demand. Moreover, its geographically dispersed education infrastructure has proved to be a boon for companies offering e-learning courses and solutions.
 
 According to our latest research report “Saudi Arabia Education Forecast to 2013”, the need and demand for education in the Kingdom continued to witness a rapid growth during the last few years, owing to its slow but steady emergence as a knowledge-based economy. Surging penetration of primary education has constructed a solid platform for developments in higher education industry. We anticipate that the student enrollments in higher education will grow at a CAGR of around 9% during 2010-2014. http://www.bharatbook.com/market-research-reports/education-and-training-market-research-report/saudi-arabia-education-forecast-to-2013.html
