Summary: | This paper provides an overview of what
matters most for engaging the private sector in basic
education. In many countries, private schools educate a
substantial and growing share of the student population. The
goal of this paper is not to advocate for private schooling,
but to outline the most effective evidence based policies
that governments can use to orient these non-state providers
toward promoting learning for all children and youth.
Systems approach for better education results (SABER)
engaging the private sector (EPS) builds upon the framework
for effective service delivery outlined in the World
Bank's World Development Report 2004, making services
work for the poor, as well as in the World Bank's
education sector strategy 2020, learning for all. To assist
countries in improving their policy frameworks for private
education, SABER EPS analyzes and benchmarks four policy
goals that, according to the global evidence, can strengthen
provider accountability and promote learning for all. These
policy goals are: (1) encouraging innovation by providers;
(2) holding schools accountable; (3) empowering all parents,
students, and communities; and (4) promoting diversity of
supply. Each of these policy goals is benchmarked across
four common models of private service delivery: (a)
independent private schools, (b) government funded private
schools, (c) privately managed schools, and (d) voucher
schools. In its country level application of the framework
and tools, SABER EPS assesses only the modes of private
delivery that already exist in each country. |
