In this model, institutions enter agreements with Quero Educação to access their marketplace, while students benefit from reduced rates on tuition through digital enrollment. This approach not only enhances accessibility to education but also consolidates the company’s position in the educational marketplace, ultimately driving its revenue growth.Following the most recent deal on August 29, 2017, where Quero Education, Inc. raised USD 0.1 million, the company is focusing on developing new products within its digital platform, specifically enhancing user engagement and enrollment processes.
