Not all possible flows are show, s<strong>in</strong>ce some seem to be implausible or low<br />

probability. This list is not meant to show the full detail of private entities, but to cover<br />

the major types. Households may have students <strong>in</strong> both public and private schools, for<br />

example, and some households are also bus<strong>in</strong>ess entities, etc. But these five components<br />

can be thought of as represent<strong>in</strong>g different <strong>in</strong>terests <strong>in</strong> the educational system, and thus<br />

different motivations for <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g or decreas<strong>in</strong>g the amount of f<strong>in</strong>ancial support they<br />

extend to the schools. These vary<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>terests would produce, <strong>in</strong> pr<strong>in</strong>ciple, different flows<br />

of resources to the different components of the school system depicted on the right side of<br />

the figure. So this figure is used to identify the most likely flows of resources from the<br />

private sector to education, given some assumptions about the use of the various<br />

component’s <strong>in</strong>terests and the conditions under which mobilization of new resources is<br />

attempted. The size of these potential flows, the impacts on the targets, and the range of<br />

motivations are subjects that could receive further empirical study as part of the analysis<br />

and plann<strong>in</strong>g for reforms<br />
