Can the private sector play a helpful role in education?

In the OECD countries, more than 20% of public expenditure expenditures are private institutions where about 12% of private institutions - communities, NGOs, religious groups, trade unions, private enterprises, small scale informal providers, private practitioners - are flowers so

But does private participation mean higher quality education? Does it lead to a better test score? Can it promote equality?

In the independent department there is evidence that the school relies on tuition fees, but the actual benefits of private schools often disappear when there is a family history. However, private schools can bring better results in systems that are not subject to selection or wealth restrictions.

In the Netherlands, 70% of enrolled students attend "private" schools, and each student receives a fixed amount of government funds (additional funds for underprivileged students). On average, families tend to come from social classes below social classes, not "public" schools, and achieve higher test scores. The level of selections offered seems to provide continuing improvement driving force in the Dutch school

Japanese high schools use private tuition fee support. This has been proven to reduce the student dropout rate with fewer learning paths.

The American charter school had a great influence on the reduction of the achievement gap. According to this trial, the Harlem child district combines school education, community support such as health care, helping with diet, etc., to eliminate the gap of achievement of black and white mathematics. There is knowledge that power school has been criticized only for improving test scores by choice, but there is evidence that the greatest benefit comes from special educational needs and young people with limited English.

The international situation is that the private sector can improve school performance and expand access through competition, accountability and autonomy. However, private schools with public funding are unlikely to produce significant profits without strong accountability.

The best results come from choices that strengthen competition, target areas that are in an unfavorable position, and have sufficient autonomy right at the school level.

New methods such as the UK free school model need to strictly evaluate the influence. Initially it requires a small pilot and investment is limited to projects proven to be effective

As you further move forward, there are many things in each country that you can learn from others. Paying close attention to international affairs and setting benchmark of educational policy is essential for raising standards and tackling inequality.

Harry Patricinos is a Chief Education Economist at the World Bank and a visiting researcher at the CfBT Education Trust in the UK. The point expressed here is his own opinion.

Use the private sector. In many countries, non-state sectors have played a leading role in providing infant care, education, and healthcare services. This is both a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge is often that the ability to secure the quality of services offered to the public sector is lacking, not only that poor childcare and education services are ineffective, but also research that they may be harmful Evidence suggests (Lancet 2011). The problem is even bigger because the scale requires a huge number of providers. And we can see that regulations are better and cheaper in markets with few participants. In terms of ledger opportunities, it is possible to expand the participation of organized private sector. The private sector can contribute by providing universal access to its workforce through commercial investment and in the context of corporate social responsibility activities.

The two main sectors working side-by-side in the secondary education sector are the private sector and the government sector of Pakistan. The National Education Policy (1979) stipulates that the private sector plays an important role in the development of national education. We will contribute to quality improvement and expansion. Even in state-of-the-art countries, the private sector has a large expenditure burden on this important social project. In countries with a population growth rate of about 3% like Pakistan, the enrollment rate of junior high schools is only about 20% every year, so it is urgent to support the private sector in order to share this big burden. It is impossible for the government to establish and manage all the schools necessary for this purpose.
