Abstract

Arguments in the international literature suggest that public-private partnership (PPP) can positively transform higher education as it leads to increased access, competition, efficiency and quality. But there are those who disagree and question whether PPP can deliver any one or all of these. This article does two things. First, it presents a discussion on higher education in three East African countries with a common history in the establishment of higher education, mapping their emerging PPP pattern on to the global patterns of public-private differentiation. Second, it analyses perceptions by key stakeholders: university students, lecturers and administrators on East Africa's experience with public-private mix in higher education based on theories of public-private differentiation.
