Avenida do Brasil: investir em educação em Portugal é ótimo negócio, diz brasileiro

The Brazilian education sector in Portugal is attracting investors, with Maple Bear aiming to open 50 schools in seven years. Fred Gabrielli, the expansion director, emphasizes the profitability of investing in education. The strategy involves acquiring existing schools and converting them to the Maple Bear brand, with initial investments of 2.5 million euros. The expansion will be partly funded by an investment fund, with 40 schools operating as franchises. The focus will be on bilingual education for children aged zero to nine, targeting Brazilian families and a broader audience. Gabrielli also highlights the importance of teacher training due to a shortage of educators in Portugal.
