Viewing private higher education: How much, where, why, and what?
D. Levy. International encyclopedia of education, Elsevier, Oxford, (2010)
Abstract
Higher education continues to be transformed by the phenomenal growth of its private sector. The sector now captures more than one-fourth of global enrolment. Although significant variation is evident across regions, only Western Europe stands mostly apart from this form of privatization. Yet the forms of private higher education are far from uniform. Three principal types are: cultural (often religious, sometimes ethnic), semi-elite, and, with easily the largest enrolment, nonelite demand absorbing. The particular characteristics of each of the three shape the nature of private-public contrasts but, in general, these contrasts are powerful. Profiles of finance, governance, and accountability are usually quite distinctive between the private and public sectors.
