Can starting school only for the elderly be lucrative?

The elderly ones here in my country decided to learn because they felt left out in the political affair' of the state or some just want more knowledge or better still experience what their kids went through as a student. If one can target some relatively simple course then the business might be more lucrative because the older folks have a lot on their mind so offering courses that won't strain their brain will help a lot.

I don't think it will be popular and profitable as mostly in our parts the elders are educated and if they are not then they are busy with their works and earning so they won't be interested in learning now so it may not work as planned

I'm not sure if it is a good business idea to start a school just for the elderly. In my location, there are many schools offering education to people of all ages. And the community centers here have volunteers to teach elderly to use computers and smart phones.

Starting school for elderly people would be a very lucrative investment program that I would always want to try because it is much in high demand in some certain countries.

I don't think it is a good business nowadays. It used to be back then when the illiteracy rate was quite high. Illiteracy level is quite low this days. There are not much adults who can't read or write.

You are right.
There are so many elderly people put there who would love to be educated.

I do not know much about this though but i feel it would not be that lucrative, due to the fact that most of these elderly where not able to attend school due to lack of capital, which means starting such school the school fees has to be affordable.

If the school fees is affordable, they will get people to come and study in their school.

They used to cakknit evening school in my country. It was a good business as at that time. I don't really see them booming again these days. That's because you can just learn online for free.

You will have to see the demand and supply. If there is demand but short supply, any business you want to start is likely to become successful

An adult school, as it were, would still be profitable now. It would hold in the evening but there must be an additional perk to make it work. You might try to get licensing to conduct a qualifying exams in the centre and that would attract patrons.
