On page 3 of the press release, under the heading “Population and New Student Start Data,” the dates referenced in the first and second bulleted items have been corrected to reflect that:

• OEG student population as of January 31, 2006, was approximately 32,700, representing a 31 percent increase from OEG student population as of January 31, 2005, of approximately 24,900.
A copy of the Registrant’s corrected release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and the information contained therein is incorporated herein by reference. The information contained in Item 2.02 to this Form 8-K, including the exhibit, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
