Lowcost Private Education: Impacts on Achieving Universal Primary Education,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In recent years developing countries have expanded their government education systems in an attempt to meet the Millennium Development Goal on education by 2015. One consequence has been a dramatic growth in lowcost private education institutions, which are increasingly being seen as a popular alternative to the public education system. Using independent firsthand research, this study investigates the lowcost private education sector in India, Nigeria and Uganda. The contributors explain the mushrooming of these schools and consider the impact they have on access to education for the poor. They argue that with proper regulation, supervision and government support, private schools can help to achieve education for all by filling gaps in public education. This study will serve as an invaluable resource to anyone interested in educational planning and policy in developing countries.Contributors:Subir Shukla works on quality improvement of educational systems in India and other South Asian countries including Afghanistan.
