Abstract

Increasingly, private enterprises are acquiring segments of the nation’s educational institutions to satisfy the rising demand for education. Policymakers want to enhance equity in educational opportunities, improve learning outcomes and overall efficiency, and augment participation and access to basic education by transferring the responsibility for education provision from the state to private enterprises. To achieve the policy objectives, these aims are being pursued. The educational system of a nation significantly influences its future due to the decisions made about the education of its children. The rapid ascent and expansion of the private education industry have engendered some issues, despite its positive effects on society. It is essential to investigate the issues that have arisen after privatisation for valid reasons. The education sector has experienced increased privatisation to meet the nation’s swiftly rising demand for educational services. The objectives of enhancing participation in and access to basic education, improving learning results and general efficiency, and promoting greater equity in educational opportunities are being pursued through the delegation of education provision from the state to private entities. The future of a nation may be significantly influenced by its approach to educating and informing its youth. Notwithstanding the beneficial impacts of private education on society, numerous concerns have arisen due to the sector’s rapid rise to prominence and swift expansion. Studying the challenges arising from privatisation is essential for pragmatic reasons.
