privatization of education

Privatization of education involves transferring the management and funding of schools from government authorities to private entities or organizations. This can mean that private companies or organizations run schools, or that individuals pay tuition directly to access education services. The goal is often to improve quality, efficiency, and innovation through competition. However, it can also raise concerns about reducing access for low-income families, increasing inequality, or prioritizing profit over educational quality. Overall, privatization changes how education is funded, managed, and provided, shifting some responsibility from public systems to private actors.
