A STUDY TO ANALYSE THE IMPLICATIONS OF PRIVATISATION IN SCHOOL EDUCATION AND THE IMPACT OF PRIVATISATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

Understanding the effects of privatisation on educational equality, accessibility, quality, and long-term results is the primary goal of this project, which will examine the effects of privatisation on K-12 and higher education. Private schools have proliferated as a result of school privatisation; they advertise higher-quality education but may contribute to existing socioeconomic inequalities. This study delves into the effects of privatisation on several aspects of education, including the allocation of resources, the flexibility of curricula, the quality of teachers, and the expansion of the socioeconomic gap in student achievement. The research emphasises how private schools serve children from middle-class and higher-income backgrounds, whereas public schools confront the challenge of inadequate resources, which affects the quality of education accessible to students from lower-income households.  This research looks at the phenomenon of higher education access and how it has changed due to university privatisation and education's commercialisation. Many people are worried about the market-driven approach to educational programs, the growing cost of tuition, and the over-reliance on private financing. University curricula are becoming more diverse, and there is a widening gap between public and private universities in terms of funding and research goals; these changes are being studied to determine their effects on student debt.  The research sheds light on the complex effects of privatisation by reviewing case studies, statistical data, and interviews with important players. To make sure that all students have access to high-quality, inclusive education, it also offers policy suggestions for making the education system more equal. These suggestions centre on striking a balance between the public and private sectors.
