% Contact Learning         20%         21%         22%         20%         17%

•     Distance learning student numbers showed good growth of 16% from 30 June 2020 to 31
      May 2021; and

•     Contact learning student numbers declined by 8% mainly as a result of students delaying
      or deferring studies given the uncertainties of COVID-19. Furthermore, regulatory delays
      in accrediting programmes and site extensions impacted the Stadio Group’s growth plans
      for many of its contact learning sites. The Company believes that the contact learning
      student numbers will recover once regulatory approvals are finalised and normalcy and
      stability return to campuses post COVID-19.
