Abstract

This study investigated the management of public private partnership and its impact on the provision of quality education in lay private secondary schools in the South West region, Cameroon. The study was guided by two objectives which were 1 To find out the extent to which adequate state subventions in the public private partnership link affect the provision of quality education in lay private secondary schools. 2 To analyse the extent to which adequate state supervision affects the provision of quality education in lay private secondary schools. The objectives were transformed to give two hypotheses. The survey research design was adopted for the study. Data were collected using a questionnaire and an interview guide from teachers, principals’ regional pedagogic inspectors and proprietors. Data were collected from 241 teachers, 46 principals, 45 proprietors and 22 regional pedagogic inspectors. The reliability analysis of the instrument was tested using the Cronbach Alpha test and the reliability coefficient for teachers was 0.879, principals 0.731, proprietors 0.834 and that for regional pedagogic inspectors was 0.896. Data were analysed using SPSS version 23 with the aid of frequency count and percentages while the hypotheses of the study were tested using the Spearman’s rho test. Based on objective one, findings showed that adequate state subvention has a very significant and positive effect on the provision of quality education in lay private schools P=0.000, far 0.05 . The positive sign of the correlation coefficient R= 0.430 implies that the educational quality for lay private school is more likely to increase when the state gives them adequate subvention and more likely to decrease when the state does not give them adequate subvention. And, based on objective two, findings also showed that adequate state supervision has a very significant and positive effect on the provision of quality education in lay private schools P=0.000, far 0.05 . The positive sign of the correlation coefficient R= 0.330 implies that the educational quality for lay private school is more likely to increase when the state adequately supervises them and more likely to decrease when the state does not adequately carried out supervision. Therefore, it was recommended that the state should provide adequate subvention to lay private secondary schools and should also adequately carry out supervision of instruction for better quality of education in thse sector.
