Access to private education is largely determined by the ability of families and students to pay.
The cost of educational services are high and are continuing to rise. While the majority of students are served by public schools and institutions, access to supplemental services often are inaccessible given an inability to pay. This has led to widening achievement gaps internationally.
Differences in comparative purchasing power makes access to education even more pronounced.
There are unprecedented degrees of inequality in many developed nations, but even poor citizens of these countries are comparatively rich in an international context. To further increase access of English-based education in developing countries, a method of subsidization is often required to deal with differences in the costs of living and operating a business.
Crowdfunding is a unique system that allows individuals to make small payments to fund projects that otherwise would be financially unfeasible.
Crowdfunding is based on the concept of micro payments where a large base of supporters make nominal contributions towards a shared cause. These contributions, while generally insignificant to individuals, can compound to have a significant impact. While a couple dollars may seem like an inconsequential amount of money to the average person in a developed nation, it is important to remember that a third of the world's population still lives on less than two dollars a day.
By creating a large base of supporters, subsidized educational products and services can be provided to those less fortunate at home and around the world.
