Introduction Valuation multiples are among the most practical tools investors use to assess companies in equity markets. Rather than calculating a company’s intrinsic value from scratch, multiples compare a firm’s financial metrics to similar businesses or to its own historical averages. The core idea is straightforward: similar businesses tend to trade within similar valuation ranges over time. When a company deviates from that range, it may signal either opportunity or risk. Investors favor multiples because they are: Quick to calculate Easy to interpret Effective for relative comparisons They are especially useful in industries where forecasting long-term cash flows is difficult…

For Imagine Worldwide, one guiding question has shaped years of work in education technology: How can we ensure learning innovations truly serve the children and communities they are meant to support? That question has driven extensive research on onecourse, a personalized learning software designed to strengthen foundational literacy and numeracy. With a strong record of rigorous evaluation, onecourse now plays a central role in Malawi’s national Building Education Foundations Through Innovation & Technology (BEFIT) program — a government-led initiative supported by the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) and other partners. BEFIT is a large-scale tablet-based learning program already reaching hundreds…
Space is no longer just a scientific ambition — it’s rapidly becoming one of Wall Street’s hottest trades. Over the past month, U.S. space technology stocks have sharply outperformed the broader tech sector, delivering gains not seen since the early “New Space” surge. What’s different this time? The rally isn’t fueled by futuristic hype. It’s driven by capital, contracts, and credible catalysts. After years of promises about a trillion-dollar space economy, the last 30 days suggest something has fundamentally shifted: institutional money is flowing in. Here’s what’s powering the breakout — and which companies are leading it. January 2026’s Standout…
Government schools all over India are rapidly moving toward digitalization. Smart classrooms, ICT labs, digital libraries, tablets, and large interactive displays are becoming increasingly common. In order to close the digital divide and modernize infrastructure, significant public funds are being invested. On paper, the goal is clear: use technology to change teaching and learning. However, most implementations have stopped digitizing at the hardware level Structured learning solutions, high-quality digital content, Learning Management Systems (LMS), Personalized Adaptive Learning (PAL), teaching-learning analytics, and outcome-focused reporting dashboards—the very things that make up Digital Education—are conspicuously absent. The emphasis has largely remained on procurement…
From GPS to Speed Traps Too frequently, standardized tests act like speed traps, resulting in backward-looking conclusions that do not offer any course correction. In contrast, students require a GPS for learning—not just an auditing system but one that provides practical guidance and navigation. Despite the fact that society places an increasing emphasis on skills for the future—such as collaborative problem-solving, AI literacy, and creative problem-solving—it continues to use bubble sheets from the 20th century that are unable to measure them. As AI usage begins to reshape economies and labor markets, the gap between our emerging educational goals and our…
When you allocate CSR education funds across multiple NGOs, you expect measurable outcomes. For your board, you need consolidated reports and want to see how impact has changed over time. However, here is what actually takes place: in India, each educational NGO operates independently. They employ distinct implementation strategies and utilize distinct metrics. It is nearly impossible to demonstrate a consolidated return on investment (ROI) because your CSR investment is dispersed across various efforts. Imagine the potential if these non-governmental organizations could unite into a single, cohesive system. Isn’t that interesting? Let’s understand the possibilities in detail. What are…
Facebook has evolved into a robust marketplace, and Meta offers a wide range of advertising options for businesses looking to reach their audiences. Perhaps the most effective strategy for increasing the number of people who see your content is to boost it. If your business is trying to achieve added visibility, boosting your posts can make that happen without straining your pockets. These posts sit at the intersection of organic content and paid reach. Brands can use them to boost posts that are already getting attention without having to spend a lot of money on large-scale advertising campaigns. We will…
After a long wait, it is a relief to finally have the paper. First, the Coalition had their initial 2013 version (which still reads pretty well, except for its comments about MOOCs, even if it had a rather different list of target countries … ); the subsequent Conservative Governments then had their 2019 Strategy, with its clear targets, and subsequent updates in 2021, 2022 and 2023; and, in October 2024, the newly installed Labour Government promised ‘a review of the International Education Strategy’, which is what has now landed. It’s good to be clear: the new paper gives a comprehensive…
Do you ever set goals for yourself that feel motivating and clear, yet notice that when you set goals for your team, the response feels flatter than you expected? That question sat at the heart of a recent conversation on The Dee-Brief Show with Executive Coach and Motivational Maps® expert Kate Turner. We explored how a leader’s own preferences, habits and motivators can quietly shape the way goals land with their teams. In this article, you’ll see why your personal goal-setting style matters more than you might think, and how small adjustments can make a real difference to team motivation.…
Chhern Lisa, a fourth-grade teacher in the Puok District, about an hour from Siem Reap, greets each day with a smile. Her classroom fills with the sound of chatter as she divides her students into groups. Today’s science class is hands-on: students are building toy cars from recycled materials – including cardboard, bottle caps and toy wheels – they have brought from home. She asks her students to delegate tasks within their groups and work collaboratively. Lisa teaches Khmer, math, science and social studies at Athipadei Primary School. She is one of nearly 1,300 primary teachers participating in the Ministry…
