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. 606 $aPublic-private sector cooperation 610 $aeducation 610 $aprivatization 610 $ahuman rights 610 $astandardization 610 $apublic-private partnership 610 $apolicy 615 0$aPublic-private sector cooperation. 676 $a658.046 700 $aAlexandra Draxler$4auth$01371880 702 $aDraxler$b Alexandra 702 $aSteiner-Khamsi$b Gita 712 02$aEdward Elgar Publishing, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910345974103321 996 $aThe state, business and education$93401644 997 $aUNINA
