Businesses, philanthropies and non-profit entities are increasingly
successful in capturing public funds to support private provision
of schooling in developed and developing countries. Coupled with
market-based reforms that include weak regulation, control over
workforces, standardization of processes and economies of scale,
private provision of schooling is often seen to be convenient for
both public authorities and businesses. This book examines how the
public subsidization of these forms of private education affects
quality, equality and the realization of human rights. With
original research from leading experts, The State, Business and
Education sheds light on the privatization of education in fragile
circumstances. It illustrates the ways in which private actors have
expanded their involvement in education as a business, and shows
the influence of policy borrowing on the spread of for-profit
education. Case studies from Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, China,
India and Syrian refugee camps illustrate the ways in which private
actors have expanded their involvement in education as a business.
This book will be of interest not only to academics and students of
international and comparative education, but also to education
development professionals in both the private and public sectors,
with its empirical assessment of case studies, and careful
consideration of the lessons to be learned from each. Contributors
