Among the largest: Vid Vitenskapelige Høgskole AS (−1.0% → 1.0%), Wright Trafikkskole AS (3.5% → 4.1%), Oslo Nye Høyskole AS (22.8% → 24.6%), Ifront Karriere AS (2.8% → 4.0%), Læringsverkstedet Gruppen AS (6.1% → 12.1%).

We show the drivers and the margin side by side and claim no cause. Sensitivity per company is not computed until we have at least 10 years of accounts per company: with three years such figures are false precision.
