What supports 80,000 students?

The next growth test is capacity and execution. In a September 22, 2026 podcast, management discussed a plan to reach 80,000 students by 2030, while the group reported an EBITDA margin of 31.30 percent despite continued investment, according to Ghost Mail.

Three milestones shape the story

On September 21, 2026, The National reported 56,171 students and ZAR 1.08 billion of six-month revenue. On September 22, 2026, Ghost Mail covered the 80,000-student goal and 31.30 percent EBITDA margin. On October 14, 2026, Sharenet reported PIC's 5.82 percent beneficial interest.

Dates for the next phase

Management said the blended learning model would start at the beginning of 2027, according to Ghost Mail. That date matters because the plan links affordability, campus access and distance learning to the enrollment target.
