On the incidence of stock exchange funding for secondary schools and universities

No stock exchanges for schools.

1… Are there any british or American secondary schools that are on any stock exchange?

It is highly unlikely that any British or American secondary schools are publicly traded on a stock exchange.
Most secondary schools in these countries are either run by the government or by private organizations such as non-profits, charities, or religious organizations. These types of organizations do not typically issue stock to the public.
However, there are some education-related companies that are publicly traded on stock exchanges, such as textbook publishers, education technology companies, and for-profit education providers. These companies are not the same as individual schools, but they are involved in the education industry in some way.

2… Are there any british or American universities or hospitals that are on any stock exchange?

Yes, there are many British and American universities and hospitals that are publicly traded on stock exchanges.
In the United States, there are several large for-profit university companies that are publicly traded, such as Grand Canyon Education, Inc. and Strayer Education, Inc. However, most American universities and colleges are non-profit organizations and are not publicly traded on stock exchanges.
In terms of hospitals, there are some for-profit hospital companies that are publicly traded, such as HCA Healthcare, Inc. and Universal Health Services, Inc. However, many hospitals in the United States are non-profit organizations and are not publicly traded.
In the United Kingdom, there are several publicly traded universities, including the University of London and BPP Holdings, which owns several private universities. Similarly, there are several publicly traded healthcare companies that own hospitals, such as Spire Healthcare Group plc and Mediclinic International plc. However, most universities and hospitals in the UK are either run by the government or are non-profit organizations and are not publicly traded on stock exchanges.

3… Are tuition fees significantly higher in such schools than in top flight private universities?

It is difficult to make a general comparison between the tuition fees of publicly traded universities and top-flight private universities, as there can be significant variation between schools. However, in general, tuition fees at for-profit universities tend to be higher than those at non-profit universities.
For-profit universities are businesses that are operated to generate profit for their owners or shareholders, and as such, they tend to charge higher tuition fees to generate revenue. In contrast, non-profit universities are operated to serve the educational needs of their students, and any surplus revenue is typically reinvested in the institution or used to support research and other educational activities.
Top-flight private universities in the United States, such as Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, are non-profit institutions, and their tuition fees are generally high. However, many of these universities also offer generous financial aid packages to help offset the cost of tuition for students from lower-income backgrounds.
It is worth noting that there can be significant variation in tuition fees even among non-profit universities, depending on factors such as the school’s location, size, and academic programs. Similarly, the tuition fees at publicly traded hospitals can vary widely depending on the specific hospital and its location, patient population, and services offered.

4… Can you give me the average fees of one or two such comparative schools?

Sure, I can give you an idea of the average fees for a few comparative schools, although it’s important to note that tuition fees can vary significantly depending on the school, the program of study, and other factors.
In the United States, Grand Canyon University is a large for-profit university that is publicly traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange. According to the school’s website, undergraduate tuition for the 2022-2023 academic year is $17,800 per year, although this does not include additional fees such as room and board, textbooks, or other expenses.
By comparison, Harvard University, which is a non-profit institution, charges undergraduate tuition and fees of $58,875 for the 2022-2023 academic year, although the university’s generous financial aid policies can help make the cost more manageable for many students.
In the United Kingdom, BPP University is a private, for-profit university that is publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange. According to the school’s website, undergraduate tuition fees for the 2022-2023 academic year range from £9,250 to £14,000 per year, depending on the program of study.
In contrast, the University of Oxford, which is a non-profit institution, charges undergraduate tuition fees of £9,250 per year for UK and EU students, and £25,740 per year for international students. However, like Harvard, Oxford offers generous financial aid packages to eligible students to help make the cost more manageable.
