INVESTMENT: SCHOOLS
ENGLTWO
Persuasive Speech
By: Carlo Martin Chua

3. THESIS STATEMENT
 Even if most people prefer other
businesses such as franchising, buy
and sell, importing goods, the best
way to earn money with a large capital
is through putting up schools since
they provide steady income due to the
need of education and the number of
people in an area.

4. ADVANTAGES OF SETTING
UP SCHOOLS
90% of the current
educational institutions
within the country are
privately owned compared
to the other 10% that is
under the government
(Tirona, 2006)

5. ADVANTAGES OF SETTING
UP SCHOOLS
Lucio Tan himself owns a
privately owned school which
is the University of the
East("Lucio C. Tan Group of
Companies", 2009)

6. ADVANTAGES OF SCHOOLS
 According to 1988 Philippine government
figures, which count as literate everyone who has
completed four years of elementary school, the
overall literacy rate was 88 percent, up from 82.6
percent in 1970. Literacy rates were virtually the
same for women and men. Elementary education
was free and, in the 1987 academic year, was
provided to some 15 million schoolchildren, 96.4
percent of the age-group. High school enrollment
rates were approximately 56 percent nationwide but
were somewhat lower on Mindanao and in Eastern
Visayas region. Enrollment in institutions of higher
learning exceeded 1.6 million (1991).”

7. STEADY INCOME TO INVESTORS
 Education has been consistently in-demand ever
since it was first introduced to the world that is why
putting up schools which provide quality education
will never cease to exist. The proportion of the
national government budget going to education has
varied from a high of 31.53 percent in 1957 to a low
of 7.61 percent in 1981. It stood at 15.5 percent in
1987. The peso amount, however, has steadily
increased, and the lower percentage reflects the
effect of a larger total government budget
(Dolan, 1991).

8. STEADY INCOME TO INVESTORS
 This kind of business provides steady income to its
investors since the school gets a nice big influx of
cash before the course has started. Many schools
find this means they can make capital
improvements that they have never managed to
before, like equipping the whole school with what
the students need such as equipment (Case, 2008).

9. VISUALIZATION
A. The school would be a success and
produce a substantial amount of profit.
B. Help increase the quality of education in
the country.
C. Produce graduates that can eventually
aid the nation's economic status.
D. Increase literacy rate in the Philippines

10. ACTION
A. Start saving up money or ask for a loan
from the bank.
B. Collaborate with those who are also
interested in this type of investment and
plan ahead.
C. Coordinate with the necessary groups,
corporations or persons that are needed
in this sort of venture. (Construction,
Furnitures, Utilities, Staffs)
D. Push through the plan and initiate the
school’s structure and open to the public.
