The document discusses issues with for-profit education companies and proposes a solution called an "E Corp" status. For-profit colleges and K-12 charter schools run by for-profits have much lower graduation rates and proficiency standards compared to non-profits.

The author suggests education companies could become transparent about their values, outcomes, costs and profits if they attain E Corp status, similar to Benefit Corporations.
