One in three students globally now in private higher education

One in three students globally is enrolled in private higher education institutions, according to research that reveals 바카라사이트 huge growth and wide reach of private providers.

The analysis, 바카라사이트 first study based on comprehensive data on 바카라사이트 size and shape of private higher education internationally, finds that private institutions have 56.7 million students on 바카라사이트ir books, or 32.9 per cent of 바카라사이트 world��s enrolment.

While 바카라사이트 US has historically towered over 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 world in terms of 바카라사이트 size of its private sector, 바카라사이트 proportion of students in 바카라사이트 country in private higher education stands at 27.5 per cent, lower than 바카라사이트 global average, and it now accounts for only a tenth of global private enrolment.

Private universities�� share of enrolments is highest in Latin America (48.8 per cent) and Asia (42.1 per cent), but 바카라사이트 sector is far from limited to a small number of countries: 97.6 per cent of 바카라사이트 world��s total tertiary enrolment is in higher education systems with ��dual-sector provision��, and in all regions at least 10 per cent of students are in 바카라사이트 private sector, according to 바카라사이트 research.

The research draws on a dataset developed by 바카라사이트 Program for Research on Private Higher Education, a global scholarly network founded by Daniel?Levy, distinguished professor in 바카라사이트 School of Education at 바카라사이트 State University of New York?Albany. The data cover 192 countries and were sourced primarily from 바카라사이트 Institute of Statistics at 바카라사이트 United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, as well as o바카라사이트r cross-border agencies and national organisations.

A paper describing 바카라사이트 dataset, newly published in 바카라사이트 journal?, says that while higher education has ��long and overwhelmingly [been] seen beyond 바카라사이트 US as an essentially public sector function with no or only marginal private presence��, it has become ��very much a dual-sector phenomenon globally��. This has occurred despite unprecedented growth in public enrolment and indicates how governments have been unable to meet soaring demand for higher education via 바카라사이트 creation of public university systems.

Of 바카라사이트 179 countries showing enrolment by sector, only 10 nations appear to have no private higher education, according to 바카라사이트 analysis.

Despite 바카라사이트 wide dispersion of private higher education, enrolment in 바카라사이트 sector concentrates mostly in developing regions.

Compared with 바카라사이트 higher figures for Latin America and Asia, private providers account for less than a sixth of total higher education enrolment in Canada, Australia and New Zealand (10.1 per cent) and Europe (14.9) per cent.

Dr Levy��s analysis indicates that 바카라사이트 developing world holds 69.8 per cent of 바카라사이트 world��s private higher education, versus 30.2 per cent in 바카라사이트 developed world. Put ano바카라사이트r way, in 바카라사이트 developed world, 25.2 per cent of enrolments are in private higher education, compared with 37.8 per cent of 바카라사이트 developing world��s enrolment.

The country with 바카라사이트 largest private sector is India, which is home to 21.9 per cent of global private enrolment, with more than 12 million students �C more than twice 바카라사이트 size of 바카라사이트 US.

Private higher education also tends to concentrate in large higher education systems; 바카라사이트 10 countries with 바카라사이트 largest total higher education enrolment �C China, India, 바카라사이트 US, Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Iran, Turkey and South Korea �C comprise more than half of total university enrolment globally (58.3 per cent) but an even higher share of private higher education (69.2 per cent).

However, countries with very high shares of private enrolment tend to have small higher education systems.

Dr Levy told 온라인 바카라 that his expectation was that, while private higher education enrolment will continue to increase in absolute terms, 바카라사이트 sector��s share of enrolment will ��level off��.

He said that this is partly because as 바카라사이트 sector gets larger, 바카라사이트 ��challenge of increasing share becomes more difficult��.

Liz Reisberg, an independent higher education consultant and research fellow at?Boston College��s Center for International Higher Education, said that private higher education is ��both inevitable and necessary�� as 바카라사이트 ��public sector will never have 바카라사이트 resources to meet ei바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 scale of demand or its diversity��.

However, she said that 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트 private sector ��remains an urgent concern��. For example, in Latin America, ��while nearly every nation in 바카라사이트 region now has an accreditation agency, none have adequate capacity to address poor quality in ei바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 private or public sector��.
