The past two decades have witnessed a vast expansion of higher
education in the Asia Pacific with education universally accepted
as a necessary condition of economic growth. Countries throughout
the region have rapidly expanded access to higher education, often
by loosening restrictions on the private sector to stimulate its
provision. In the process, the status of higher education has
shifted from a widely accepted public good to a commodity provided
and purchased through market mechanisms. Expansion and
privatization have created new concerns over the quality of
education throughout the region. The essays in this volume
underscore the fundamental interrelationships between quality,
educational expansion, and the pervasive challenges of
privatization.
