Dissatisfaction with public schools, the explosion of Internet-based learning and rising capital, should greatly expand for profit school ventures, Symonds says. The total market capitalization of education stocks makes up less than 1 percent of U.S. capital markets.

Experts also predict a recovery of education stocks, which fell in 1999.
