“…This reflects global patterns of neoliberal reform in higher education (Jamshidi et al. ; Torres and Schugurensky ). However, despite the familiarity of the pattern of a retreating state and rising private sector, for‐profit ISTs do not only signify a private‐sector solution to a crisis in public funding.…”

R e s u m e n Este artículo explora el surgimiento de los Institutos Superiores Tecnológicos (ISTs) en la ciudad amazónica de Tarapoto, Perú, centrándose en su atractivo para mujeres jóvenes. En Perú, el surgimiento de la escuela tecnológica privada llega en una coyuntura histórica con la disminución de un violento conflicto social, seguido por las reformas neoliberales que han reducido drásticamente la financiación de las universidades públicas -y especialmente sus programas en las humanidades y las ciencias sociales. Sin embargo, la dramática representación de las mujeres jóvenes matriculados en los ISTs de Tarapoto-de las cuales son las primeras en sus familias en asistir postsecundaria, o incluso secundario-plantea importantes cuestiones sobre el tipo de esperanzas, posibilidades y experiencias que complementan el plan de estudios técnicos en las aulas de los ISTs. [Amazonía, educación, género, Perú] A b s t r a c tThis article explores the rise of private, postsecondary technical schools (ISTs) in the rapidly expanding Amazonian city of Tarapoto, Peru, and particularly their appeal for young women. In Peru, the rise of the for-profit technical school comes at a historical conjuncture with the decline of a violent social conflict, followed by neoliberal reforms that have dramatically cut funding for public universities-and particularly programs in the humanities and social sciences. However, the dramatic overrepresentation of young women enrolled in Tarapoto's private ISTs-many of whom are the first in their families to attend postsecondary, or even secondary school-raises important 578J o u r n a l o f L a t i n A m e r i c a n a n d C a r i b b e a n A n t h r o p o l o g y questions about the sorts of hopes, potentials, and experiences that supplement the technical curriculum in the IST classroom.

“…Another crucial factor is the level of support institutions receive from the government. Jamshidi et al (2012) contend that the public nature of PHE must be acknowledged at the start of any discussion on the sector. Mabizela (2006) adds that private institutions promote national growth through human resource development and should thus be supported by means of access to funds and land, favourable taxation measures and investment incentives, and staff development opportunities (Tamrat, 2008).…”

Private Higher Education in Africa: Old Realities and Emerging Trends

The growth of private higher education in Africa has been driven by factors such as burgeoning demand that could not be met by the public sector and policy influences as Structural Adjustment Programmes that promoted privatisation in the 1980s and beyond. In the past three decades, the continent's private higher education institutions have exhibited different growth trajectories. Variations are also evident in their policies and the quality of their offerings. However, the variation and incremental growth of this sector is not adequately captured in the extant literature. This article investigates Africa's private higher education sector based on past and emerging realities and argues that the sector exhibits nuances that have not received sufficient attention due to excessive stereotyping of PHE in Africa and elsewhere. Understanding these differences, which are sometimes described as 'exceptions', is a prerequisite for developing a comprehensive conceptualisation of current tapestries and future trends. The article begins by examining the major features of global private higher education and proceeds to Africa with its major focus on emerging trends within the continent.

“…Table 2 shows Federal Government Development Expenditure on Education and Training with special reference to the allocation for higher education. Plan (1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990) The promulgation of Private Higher Education Institutions Act (PHEIA) 1996 authorizes private companies, Government Link Companies (GLCs) and non-profit organisations to operate private higher learning institutions (Jamshidi, Arasteh, NavehEbrahim, Zeinabadi, & Rasmussen, 2012;Wilkinson & Yussof, 2005). This initiative has divided the provision of tertiary education into two categories, namely, public universities fully funded by the government and private higher learning institutions funded by private entities.…”
