ForewordForewordIt is a pleasure to present this publication on Private Higher Education as one of thebackground documents for the 2009 World Conference on Higher Education(WCHE), held under the overarching theme The New Dynamics of Higher Educationand Research for Societal Change and Development.One of the clearest trends to emerge since the World Conference in 1998 is thegrowth of many private/non-government providers of higher education in responseto the strong demand for access and the need for a greater diversity of curricula andapproaches.UNESCO is grateful to the authors who have contributed to this collection: Kai-MingCheng; John Fielden; Maria-Jose Lemaitre; Daniel Levy; and N.V. Varghese. It is aparticular pleasure to acknowledge the role of Svava Bjarnason, of the World Bank'sInternational Finance Corporation, who has drawn on her extensive experience ofboth the public and private sectors of higher education to coordinate the preparationof this report. Special thanks are also due to the Swedish International DevelopmentCooperation Agency (SIDA) which provided financial support for this work throughthe UNESCO Forum on Higher Education Research and Knowledge.In response to the increasing importance of private provision - now the fastestgrowing component of the higher education sector worldwide - Member States seekguidance from UNESCO on appropriate policy frameworks for these providers. Thiswork will feature in UNESCO's Programme and Budget for 2010-2011. One of thecontributions to the report suggests how regulatory frameworks can be developed soas to optimise the contribution of the private sector to national objectives in thecontext of higher education as a public good.WCHE2009 Executive SecretariatGeorges Haddad, DirectorDivision of Higher Education, UNESCOStamenka Uvalic-TrumbicExecutive Secretary WCHE 2009i
