Middle East And Africa Private Higher Education Market Growth & Trends

The Middle East and Africa private higher education market size is expected to reach USD 72.10 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.0% from 2023 to 2030, according to a recent report from Grand View Research, Inc. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increased university rankings, an emphasis on international collaboration and diversification, a focus on student-centered learning, and technological integration; the MEA private higher education system is poised for major expansion. For instance, in September 2022, Pearson Middle East, a publishing and education company, announced the strengthening and extension of its partner network in the UAE through the onboarding of five new organizations under the PTE Academic Certified Associates program. The exam is administered and analyzed by advanced Artificial Intelligence technology to assure accuracy and prevent any type of bias in the test outcomes. The program also offers test takers a variety of preparation choices, including scored practice, tests, PTE Academic Question Banks, and the Official Guide to PTE Academic, which provides in-depth information and practical advice on each section of the exam.

Higher education has advanced significantly in the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia, in recent years. One of the major factors driving the MEA private higher education market growth is the rise of medium-sized, comprehensive private institutions and universities. Private universities in the Arab region can enhance national economies by inventing and innovating concrete solutions to some of the region's challenges to development. This, in turn, could lead to new information and discoveries, accelerating the region's evolution and serving as knowledge reservoirs and incubators for innovative ideas. Furthermore, the MEA private higher education market growth can be attributed to the emergence of Learning Management Systems, with a focus on user-friendly interfaces, mobile compatibility, and advanced capabilities such as analytics and AI-driven personalized learning routes.

The increasing shift towards personalized and adaptive learning is gaining traction in the African region. Institutions are using technology to personalize educational content based on individual student needs, preferences, and learning methods, thereby improving the overall learning experience, which is creating robust opportunities for the growth of the MEA private higher education market. For instance, in May 2023, the University of Pretoria announced a strategic partnership agreement with the University of Leeds. The new partnership agreement marks a key milestone with the aim of global educational excellence by strengthening current collaborations between the two universities. It also commits to a global vision of the challenges that both institutions continue to address together. The agreement will also broaden international collaboration in digital education to develop shared education and training for degree courses and certifications ranging from undergrad to postdoctoral, as well as summer schools and lifetime learning.

Several companies are establishing partnerships with online learning platforms, which aims to strengthen the Middle East's global competitiveness by increasing equal access to education, creating a lifelong learning path, and aligning educational outputs with the requirements of the job market. Furthermore, in February 2023, Prince Sultan University (PSU), a private university, announced a partnership with Coursera, an online learning platform, to offer new pathways to job-relevant, multidisciplinary learning and limitless access to high-quality content to students across its six campuses. PSU students will have a chance to take an array of online courses from across the Coursera catalog by fully integrating Coursera for Campus into their curriculum, providing them with the required abilities for the digital economy and generating opportunities for career paths in the demanded entrepreneurial and technology sectors. Such initiatives are anticipated to create a positive outlook for the higher education market.
