States founded, control, and fund public postsecondary institutions because higher education helps meet state goals. Public institutions of higher education provide considerable public benefits to states, but these benefits have not been systematically measured. As a result, public conversations about the broad value proposition of higher…

Privatization of education has expanded dramatically worldwide in the last two decades, and Turkey is no exception.

Zancajo, Adrián; Bonal, Xavier – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2022
Education markets have spread worldwide over the past few decades.

However, the evidence available shows that market-oriented policies that enhance competition and choice…

Skerritt, Craig – Irish Educational Studies, 2019
Symbolic of the rise of neoliberal principles in Irish education policy, there is now a move towards advancing school autonomy and decentralizing decision-making to individual schools, possibly emulating the academy model that has become widespread in England. Increasing the freedom and independence of schools may involve using private actors to…

Frances Free Ramos; Nirali Jani – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2025
This article examines the ways in which teachers and community-based activists collaborated to advance an anti-privatisation agenda within an urban school district. The article emerges from our respective studies of privatisation in Oakland, one a historical study of the advance of neoliberalism and the other a case study (Merriam 2007,…

Kevin Kinser; Sarah Zipf; Jeffrey C. Sun; Heather Turner – Institute for College Access & Success, 2024
White-label programs in higher education, designed and supported by online program management (OPM) firms, pose unique challenges to current policy. In part this is because OPM firms and services are either exempt from policy or fall into a gray area that policy has not yet considered. Policymakers, however, do not need to develop entirely new…

Mok, Ka Ho – Higher Education Quarterly, 2021
In the last few decades, the Chinese higher education system has changed considerably from an elitist model to a massified one with public and "minban"/transnational provisions.
