Education covers organisations whose product is instruction: schools, universities, vocational training providers, course platforms and tutors. Assignment reads what the site teaches and who it teaches.

Where it meets Nonprofit & Philanthropy

Charities and trade associations appear in both. A school run as a charity carries each label rather than being forced into one.

Methodology

Aggregate counts from the DiscoLike index of 80M+ companies. Companies without a resolvable location are counted under 'unknown', and cells below the minimum count threshold are folded into an 'other' bucket. Industry and business-type categories overlap: a company carrying several labels is counted in each.

Updated monthly. Current snapshot: October 2026. See the full Company Index Stats.
