While public-private partnerships in education in the United States
have received a lot of attention, research on such partnerships
elsewhere has been limited-even though such partnerships have been
steadily gaining prominence, particularly in developing countries.
Aiming to fill this gap, this book presents fresh, technically
sound empirical evidence on the effectiveness and cost of various
public-private education partnerships from around the world,
including voucher programs and faith-based schools. The evidence on
the impact in terms of school performance, targeting, and cost of
public-private partnerships is mixed. Some evidence suggests that
voucher schools outperform public schools, but the difference
between both types of schools is not as large as one might think,
and is often smaller than simple statistics suggest. Evidence on
faith-based schools tends to show slightly better performance than
public schools, but this is not the case in all countries. While in
some countries faith-based schools reach the poor better than
public schools, in other countries the reverse is observed. As for
the private costs of education, evidence shows that costs depend on
the systems in place in each country, but that when school choice
is limited, parents can still influence the performance of their
children through private expenditure for tutoring. More rigorous
studies on such partnerships, particularly in developing countries,
are necessary.
