Introduction1the current fiscal constraints, governments are exploring more vigorously the optionsavailable to them through partnerships with the private sector. Chapter 3 examinesthe various modalities of PPPs in higher education ranging from simple contracting ofservices to more involved and long-term education partnerships. The author exploresthe various motives for engaging in partnership from risk-sharing to innovation as wellas outlining some of the elements for successful partnerships such as transparency ofpolicy and changing paradigms of governance.How governments choose to regulate private provision varies depending upon theperspective of whether such providers are seen as partners in meeting the country'soverall demand for education or whether such providers are seen in more negativeterms, requiring excessive restrictions. The underlying question is framed by issues ofaccess and quality. Governments want to provide increased access to educationopportunities, while at the same time ensuring such opportunities are of equal orhigher quality than that found in the public sector. Chapter 4 outlines sevenelements for a policy framework which governments might consider. The authors goon to discuss processes and mechanisms through which the elements might beachieved - many of which are illuminated through short case studies drawn fromvarious countries and regions. The chapter provides insight as to the potential barriersand incentives that regulatory frameworks provide for private provision andencourages an open dialogue between government and private providers to ensureissues of access and quality are addressed.Ensuring the quality of the educational experience is a central tenet on whichgovernment policies rest. Certainly the regulatory frameworks play a key role insetting out the basic structure for institutions to follow which provides some comfortthat quality provision will be in provided. However, as policy matures and the highereducation sector expands, many countries are now establishing quality assurance(QA) agencies or choosing to align themselves with international agencies engaged inthe recognition and accreditation of education provision. The author of Chapter 5provides an overview of the quality control and assurance mechanisms currently inplace ranging from simple licensure to accreditation and quality audit. She argues thatquality mechanisms must find a balance that ensures high levels of provision while atthe same time not constraining appropriate innovation that responds to the evolvingpublic and private education sectors.4
Introduction1The role of private provision remains open and contested in some quarters and isnow well-established in others. This is part of the evolution and development of thesector and will serve to ensure that, as policies are developed, policy-makers willbecome increasingly aware of the options available to provide both barriers andincentives to the growth of this sector as appropriate to their country's needs. Thisreport contributes to that debate.ReferenceWorld Bank. 2009. Averting a Human Crisis During the Global Downturn: Policy Optionsfrom the World Bank's Human Development Network.5
