2. Introduction
The growth of the private sector and the emergence of a
range of Basic Education PPPs both have implications for the
role of international organizations and NGOs, as well as for
private educational entrepreneurs. For the most
part, education lending by international organizations such
as the World Bank has mirrored the public sector dominance
of Basic Education that exists in many countries. The
expansion of PPPs has also highlighted a number of
significant gaps in knowledge with respect to the private
involvement in education.
3. Introduction of PPP
PPP
PPP involves a contract between a public sector authority
and a private party, in which the private party provides a
public service or project and assumes substantial
financial, technical and operational risk in the project. Public
Private Partnership means an arrangement between a
government / statutory entity / government owned entity on
one side and a private sector entity on the other.
4. PPP in India
The Government of India defines a P3 as "a
partnership between a public sector entity
(sponsoring authority) and a private sector entity
(a legal entity in which 51% or more of equity is
with the private partner/s) for the creation and/or
management of infrastructure for public purpose
for a specified period of time (concession period)
on commercial terms and in which the private
partner has been procured through a transparent
and open procurement system."
5. Public–private partnership in education
PPP in education is private operation of publicly
funded education. While evidence is thin, a
prominent recent study based uncross-country data
suggests that private operation of schools with public
funding raises student achievement levels, leading to
efficiency gains. If it is accepted that primary
education should always be publicly funded, and if
the superior efficiency of this type of PPP in education
is accepted or presumed.
6. Benefits of private public partnership in primary education
These Partnerships can be tailored and targeted to meet the
needs of specific communities like,
Mid-day meal given on a daily basis (both in morning
& afternoon shifts).
Health check up held twice a year. We do maintain
Health Charts for the children.
All the major festivals and events in the Calendar are
celebrated by our school throughout the year.
Uniforms, books & stationeries, woolens, new clothes
for puja, special treats etc. are provided to the children.
7. Conti…………..
•Private schooling growing rapidly
•If private schools attract HHs, they must operate
with some competitive advantages
•It’s the nature of these advantages that shapes views
about how the private sector can be most effectively
used
8. Pre primary education is necessary for all children
Children belonging to marginalized groups in
society, particularly girls, depend on public preprimary
schools, whereas those belonging to higher socio-economic
groups are more likely to attending private schools. Since
education of children between 3-6 years old is not
fundamental right, it is not legally mandated. Because of this
preschool education is suffering from inadequate coverage and
poor quality benefiting very few children. However, it is an
important constitutional.
9. Private providers are playing an increasingly
important role in education
To build school infrastructure.
As education provider.
To provide supplemental academic services.
By Financing Either School.
To delivering education to low-income .
To provide education quality and efficiency.
10. The arguments in favor of public-private
partnerships
PPPs can create competition in the education market
PPP contracts can be more flexible than most public
sector arrangements
Governments can choose private providers in PPP
contracts
To improve Basic education pattern
11. The arguments against public-private
partnerships
To reduce the government’s control
Increase socioeconomic segregation
Will lose the support of more educated parents
13. Conclusions
This report has undertaken a review of the international
experience with PPPs at the Basic Education level. These
examples have been drawn from a wide range of both
developed and developing countries. Several forms of PPP
have been highlighted, including private philanthropic
initiative, private sector management initiatives, and
private School funding programs,(e.g. subsidies and
vouchers),adopt-a-school programs and school
infrastructure partnerships.
