  • Making Rights Realities Does Privatising Educational Services For
    Making Rights Realities Does Privatising Educational Services for the Poor Make Sense? Keith M Lewin [email protected] Centre for International Education, University of Sussex Paper Presented at the Conference on The Impact of Privatization and Marketization on the Education of Disadvantaged Children University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign1. Introduction Over the last decade there has been a growing interest in the role that for-profit private providers of educational services can play in universalising access to basic education in low income countries. The mechanisms suggested include promoting "low cost private schools for the poor" and supporting the public financing of privately managed schools using vouchers. Neither offers a panacea to complex problems and there is much special pleading. This paper makes the case for continued emphasis on public financing and provision of basic education to promote equitable development. In so doing it accepts that private interests can and do have do have roles to play in educational development in low-income countries. However, there are limits of capacity, motivation, and financing that mean that the provider of last resort will always be public in all but the most fragile states, and that the access to education of the poorest will be best served by public investments that prioritise equity and are directed at redressing imbalances and since social justice. This paper2 sets the scene for the debates about whether private schools for the poor make sense. The first section defines terms to reduce the ambiguities inherent in debates around privatisation. Its concern is with low price schools rather than low cost schools since this is what determines if they are accessible to the poor.

  • Toward Universal Learning: a Global Framework for Measuring Learning Is the Second in a Series of Three Reports from the Learning Metrics Task Force
    Toward Universal Learning A Global Framework for Measuring Learning 2 Report No. 2 of 3 Learning Metrics Task Force July 2013 2 Toward Universal Learning A Global Framework for Measuring Learning Toward Universal Learning: A Global Framework for Measuring Learning is the second in a series of three reports from the Learning Metrics Task Force. The first report was focused on identifying what learning is important for all children and youth (Toward Universal Learning: What Every Child Should Learn), and a third report will address how the measurement of learning can be implemented to improve education quality. This report represents the collaborative work of the Learning Metrics Task Force’s members and their organiza- tions, a technical working group convened by the task force’s Secretariat, and more than 600 individuals around the world who provided feedback on the recommendations. The members of the Measures and Methods Working Group who wrote the report are listed below. About the Learning Metrics Task Force The UNESCO Institute for Statistics and the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution have joined efforts to convene the Learning Metrics Task Force. The overarching objective of the project is to catalyze a shift in the global conversation on education from a focus on access to access plus learning. Based on recommendations from technical working groups and input from broad global consultations, the task force works to ensure that learn- ing becomes a central component of the post-2015 global development agenda and to make recommendations for common goals to improve learning opportunities and outcomes for children and youth worldwide.
