How Institutional Investors’ Alternative Funding and Investment Opportunity Impact Education System? The Case of Saudi Arabia

Abstract:

Education system investment depicts any country's potential growth and innovation culture globally. Institutional investment has found a positive model for its role in clean energy infrastructure development financing, entrepreneurial development, poverty reduction, and promotion of corporate social responsibility and corporate development. There are research gaps as far as literature on institutional investors and education system financing opportunities is concerned. This research provides another sustainable source of funding for the Saudi education system and, on the other hand, provides institutional investors with investment opportunities with moderate government intervention. The study claims that through government initiatives, the university will create alternative funding sources through institutional investors, thereby reducing the burden on the Saudi Government and creating huge market opportunities for institutional investors. This institutional investor and sustainable university funding research model will strengthen the Saudi education system and directly contribute to sustainable economic diversification's "Saudi Vision 2030".
