Private school education to rescue poor countries
Model booming private schools in poor countries so the government had to choose: either to promote this trend, or "out of the way."
According to The Economist, the failure the state's public school model is leading to booming private school, tuition is less than 1 USD per week, blooming across Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. The explosion took place when public schools are facing pressure to change. Because education in most developing countries is really shocking.
Half of the children in grade four in South Asia and one third of children in Africa still unread proficient. In India, 60% of children aged 6 to 14 do not have the literacy skills of a child with two normal classes. Most governments make commitments universal primary education and promoting education, but all failed.
In a survey of rural India, a quarter of teachers are absent. In Africa, the World Bank shows that teacher absence rate up to 15-25%. Pakistan recently discovered that more than 8,000 state schools do not exist. Sierra Leone also discovered 6,000 teachers "ma", called back pay but not participate in teaching, accounting for nearly a fifth of the state payroll number.
The failure of public education, combined with a difference change in the economy has caused a boom in private schools. According to the World Bank, the private elementary schools in the world has doubled compared to 20 years ago.
For example, in Nigeria, 26% of children of primary school age are studying in private schools in 2010 , up from 18% in 2004. in India in 2013, this ratio was 29%, up from 19% in 2006. in Liberia and Sierra Leone, this percentage is much higher, at around 60%.
on overall, the government has always viewed education as the work of the state and do not want to develop private education "to protect the nobility of the profession". But education is to bring investment opportunities to attract investment from the charity. For example, International Investment Bridge for 400 kindergartens and primary schools in Kenya and Uganda, and is planning to expand into Nigeria and India. Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder, billionaire Bill Gates and the International Finance Corporation, is one of the largest investors in private education.
In fact, private schools provide better value than state schools. A study based on 6,000 students in Andhra Pradesh, southern India, showed that students of private schools qualified English and Hindi better than public school students; a similar result with mathematics and the local language Telugu. The private schools achieve the same results of the public schools with one-third of funding.
The growth of the private school models in developing countries is a healthy expression of socialization efforts education, expressed the desire of all parents is for the best for their children. "The government disorganized or corrupt in the way this trend should stay out of the way," commented The Economist.
