“…Left unaddressed, parents are likely to opt to pay for private education if they can afford it. In Tanzania, private schooling is increasingly available to meet this demand (Lassibille et al, 2000).

“…The impetuous for private education increased substantially in the late 1980s, throughout the 1990s, and continues today, however, as private education is viewed as a strong alternative to the government schools at all levels of education. For instance, in 1992 while only 15 of 11,000 primary schools in Tanzania were private supported, over 75 % of secondary schools were considered private (Lassibille et al 2000 ). Even though schools are considered 'public', most schools in sub-Saharan Africa rely on some form of community or parental assistance for their support.…”

Globalisation involves the transformation of space and time, transcending state territories, state frontiers, and historical traditions. Whereas international relations embody the notion of transactions between nations, global relations imply that social, economic, political, and cultural activities disengage from territorial authority and jurisdictions and function according to more immediate imperatives of worldwide spheres of interest. Through globalisation the economy is dominated by market forces run by transnational corporations owing allegiance to no nation-state and located wherever global advantage dictates. Paralleling the development of multinational industry is a global electronic fi nance market that exchanges more than a trillion dollars a day (Bergsten 1988 ).Globalising forces have a long history, but they accelerated in the 1980s following the economic worldwide liberalisations of the 1970s, the growing transportation systems, movements of people, and the emergence of a global communications network. Globalising processes do not involve all countries equally. Some are highly involved, while others are not, and some aspects in one and the same country are highly globalised, while others are not (McGrew 1992 ; Waters 1995 ; Hirst and Thompson 1996a , b ). Besides the economy, globalisation includes overlapping political and cultural processes such that economic issues often appear synonymous with political issues. Commentators claim a global political culture has emerged driven by what they call political neoliberalism, characterised by a kind of 'buccaneer individualism', ideological competitiveness, and a secular and materialistic market-oriented economy (Spragens 1995 ). Neoliberalism is an unfortunate label
