Summary: | The book examines five ways through
which public-private contracts can help countries meet
education goals. First, public-private partnerships can
increase access to good quality education for all,
especially for poor children who live in remote, underserved
communities and for children in minority populations.
Second, lessons for innovative means of financing education
can be particularly helpful in post-conflict countries
undergoing reconstruction. Third, lessons about what works
in terms of public-private partnerships contribute to the
development of a more differentiated business model
especially for middle-income countries. Fourth, the
challenge of meeting the education Millennium Development
Goals in less than a decade is a daunting one in the poorest
countries. Understanding new partnership arrangements within
a broad international aid architecture in education can help
bring us closer to those goals. Fifth, some very innovative
public-private partnership arrangements are happening in
Arab countries, and lessons can be drawn from their experience. |
