Education Sector Payment Performance Edges Up: 2020 Score of 77.2/100 Rises to 79.5/100 in 2021

The Comparison

• 2020: Analyzed data from 220 education companies.
• 2020: Average payment performance score registered at 77.2 out of 100.
• 2021: Sample size increased to 232 education companies.
• 2021: Average payment performance score improved to 79.5 out of 100.

What This Means

The education sector demonstrated a slight positive shift in payment practices, yet the 2.3-point increase signals only a marginal improvement year-on-year. While more companies were included in the 2021 analysis, influencing the overall score, the modest change suggests systemic payment challenges may still persist within the sector. Companies can estimate interest and debt recovery compensation using a late payment calculator.
