  • Occasional Paper No. 68 National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education Teachers College, Columbia University
    Occasional Paper No. 68 National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education Teachers College, Columbia University Evaluating Private Higher Education in the Philippines: The Case for Choice, Equity and Efficiency Charisse Gulosino MA Student, Teachers College, Columbia University Abstract Private higher education has long dominated higher education systems in the Philippines, considered as one of the highest rates of privatization in the world. The focus of this paper is to provide a comprehensive picture of the nature and extent of private higher education in the Philippines. Elements of commonality as well as differences are highlighted, along with the challenges faced by private institutions of higher education. From this evidence, it is essential to consider the role of private higher education and show how, why and where the private education sector is expanding in scope and number. In this paper, the task of exploring private higher education from the Philippine experience breaks down in several parts: sourcing of funds, range of tuition and courses of study, per student costs, student destinations in terms of employability, and other key economic features of non-profit /for-profit institutions vis-à-vis public institutions. The latter part of the paper analyses several emerging issues in higher education as the country meets the challenge for global competitiveness. Pertinent to this paper’s analysis is Levin’s comprehensive criteria on evaluating privatization, namely: choice, competition, equity and efficiency. The Occasional Paper Series produced by the National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education promotes dialogue about the many facets of privatization in education. The subject matter of the papers is diverse, including research reviews and original research on vouchers, charter schools, home schooling, and educational management organizations.

  • December 2016 United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia
    DECEMBER 2016 UNITED BOARD FOR CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION IN ASIA Opening Paths for Networking and Exchange In this issue: Our 2016 Annual Report Message from the President Harvest Time In August of this year, four young Sri Lankan students arrived to begin their studies at Madras Christian College, part of a fast-moving relationship between United Board network institutions in India and schools in the war-torn Jaffna region of northern Sri Lanka. Only four days earlier, members of the United Board’s South Asia Task Force, accompanied by a dynamic group of Indian higher education leaders, had been seated in a conference room in Jaffna, exchanging ideas with local educators about ways to strengthen the skills of faculty and enrich the educational experience of students at a time of national and regional recovery. The discussion was intended to help our task force better understand the higher education landscape in Sri Lanka, but thanks to the generous impulses of leaders from Madras Christian College, Lady Doak College, and Women’s Christian College, that conversation very quickly shifted our perspective from what we might attempt in the near future to what we can do today. Nancy E. Chapman President That experience reminds me that the future is never more than a few steps away. The actions of my South Asian “When our earlier investments are bearing colleagues demonstrate that the needs of Asian college and university fruit, we should not delay the harvest. administrators, faculty, and students are immediate – and often, some solutions are readily available. Given our modest resources, the United Board takes a thoughtful, measured approach” to developing new program areas and extending its network to new regions.
