The mushrooming of private education across SA is a massive multi-billion rand industry.
No one can deny that schools like Curro, AdvTech, Spark, Eduvos, and MEL International are very good. They provide elite environments and solid academic results that parents trust.
● CURRO: ~71,700 learners | Fees R2,750–R8,800+ pm | Revenue: R5.4 Bn
● ADVTECH Schools: ~30,000+ learners | Fees up to R12,000+ pm | Revenue: R3.4 Bn+
● EDUVOS: ~23,000+ students | Avg ~R6,000 pm | Revenue: ~R1.6 Bn (Estimated)
● SPARK: ~17,000 learners | Avg R3,000–R3,900 pm | Revenue: ~R700 Million (Estimated)
●MEL International: ~700 learners | Avg R3,500 pm | Revenue: ~R29 Million (Estimated)
With zero gov subsidies allowed for for-profit operators, families carry the entire financial weight of this private empire. Exceptional schooling.

In October 1582, Pope Gregory XIII reformed the calendar (switching from Julian to Gregorian) to correct a 10-day drift that had built up over centuries relative to the solar year.
Catholic countries skipped 10 days: Thursday, Oct 4, 1582 was immediately followed by Friday, Oct 15, 1582. Your screenshot perfectly shows that adjustment in action!
